Thanksgiving Possibly 1988 - 1994

"Thanksgiving" is a black and white photograph by Jim Goldberg, possibly taken between 1988 and 1994. The image depicts a street scene in Los Angeles at night, featuring a street sweeper cleaning the sidewalk in front of a building. The sidewalk is wet and reflective, and the street sweeper's lights illuminate the scene. The sidewalk is also marked by the iconic Hollywood Walk of Fame stars, adding a touch of Los Angeles culture to the image. Goldberg's work is known for its focus on social issues, and this image captures the everyday reality of life in the city. The use of black and white creates a sense of timelessness and emphasizes the stark contrast between light and shadow, highlighting the street sweeper's work and the city's gritty beauty.
