Bus Stop Possibly 1989 - 1994

"Bus Stop" is a black and white photograph by Jim Goldberg, capturing a moment of urban life. Taken sometime between 1989 and 1994, it showcases a person hailing a bus at night, their silhouette defined by a raised book, potentially a Bible. The dynamic composition utilizes a blurry bus and a static tree to create a sense of movement and stillness, highlighting the fleeting nature of everyday interactions. Goldberg's work, known for its social commentary, often explores themes of homelessness and poverty, prompting viewers to reflect on societal issues and individual experiences.
