Santa Cruz Boardwalk Possibly 1973 - 1994

"Santa Cruz Boardwalk" is a black and white photograph by Richard Gordon, taken sometime between 1973 and 1994. The image captures a man holding a small dog close to his chest, partially obscured by a plastic sheet and posters on a wall behind him. This intimate portrait, with its blurred background and focus on the man's face, suggests a moment of quiet contemplation amidst the bustling activity of the Santa Cruz Boardwalk. Gordon, known for his candid street photography, often explored themes of urban life, human interaction, and fleeting moments. This photograph embodies those themes, offering a glimpse into a personal story within a public space.
