Early That Morning Possibly 1993 - 1995

Jim Goldberg made this black and white photograph called 'Early That Morning'. It’s a close-up, capturing a moment with a quiet intensity. The composition is striking: the hand is not just an object, but a landscape of wrinkles and veins. See that dark spot? It draws you in, inviting you to consider the story etched into the skin. The hand resting on the tousled hair creates a poignant contrast. The texture is palpable, almost begging to be touched. It reminds me of some of the photographs by Robert Frank, raw, honest and full of emotion, capturing the beauty and fragility of human life. It's less about perfection, and more about truth and emotion. And isn't that what art is all about? Embracing the messy, the imperfect, and finding beauty in the unexpected.
