Greyhound Bus Terminal, West 50th Street, New York City 1947

Esther Bubley's 1947 photograph, *Greyhound Bus Terminal, West 50th Street, New York City,* captures the quiet intimacy of a waiting room. Two men, sharply dressed in suits, sit in a row of seats, their postures relaxed, their eyes seemingly lost in thought. The stark, yet simple composition and the use of natural light characteristic of Bubley's style, create a sense of realism and immediacy. This candid moment provides a glimpse into the daily lives of ordinary Americans in post-war New York City.
