I really enjoyed looking at\u00a0Charles A. Traub Lunch Time photographs. It incorporates many\u00a0portrays of a diverse group of people\u00a0who are\u00a0all out on the streets,\u00a0at the very same time for the same purpose.\u00a0No matter who you are, where you are coming from, or what you\u00a0are doing\u00a0after their break, everybody’s on the same mission; the\u00a0mission to get lunch. Most\u00a0traditions and costumes that are practiced by one culture, are not universally practiced by others. The basic need to eat food however, is an universal one practiced by every single individual out there.
\nEven though we are out on the streets in a public space, the photographs\u00a0authentically capture\u00a0an intimate moment in time. What adds to this authenticity is that Traub took the photographs while being in dialogue with the individuals. They might be telling him a story of how they ended up there\u00a0or what they were getting for lunch. Seeing those pictures makes me want to meet those\u00a0people and get to hear their stories. They are not\u00a0anonymous faces out on the street anymore. They have dreams, aspirations, and fears just like anybody else. For me the photographs are\u00a0an invitation to\u00a0be more aware of our surroundings and to acknowledge the presence of people that we might not know yet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
