Echo Waiting (Polk and Sutter) Possibly 1986 - 1994

"Echo Waiting (Polk and Sutter)" is a black and white photograph by Jim Goldberg, taken sometime between 1986 and 1994. The photograph captures a person's profile reflected in a window, with the person's hand holding a cigarette. The reflection suggests an urban environment, with the blurred figures and vehicles in the background adding to the sense of anonymity and fleeting moments. Goldberg is known for his work in street photography, often capturing the everyday lives of marginalized individuals, and this piece reflects his signature style of documenting contemporary American society through candid, often intimate portraits.
