juvenile passion on bus - Limited Edition of 10 Photograph

https://nyphotocurator.com/the-window-deb-schwedhelm-/first-place-michael-rababy-juvenile-passion-on-bus----/1 JUVENILE PASSION ON BUS by Michael Rababy FIRST PLACE (Click on image for larger view) Review by Curator Deb Schwedhelm: "As I scrolled through the images, this photograph instantly stopped me in my tracks and took my breath away — the moment, the movement, the composition, the rich black and white processing. And to think this moment was caught while being an observer outside of a bus makes this photograph that much more incredible. To see this and click the shutter at just the right moment is so brilliant. All three images that Michael submitted are so well seen, composed, and processed — each being made at just the right moment. ADDITIONAL REVIEW BY CURATOR DIANA BLOOMFIELD: "I don't have much to add that the curator hasn't already covered, but I do love the timelessness of black and white used here, and also the fluidity and movement-- not only emphasizing this 'caught' serendipity-- but also the fleeting moment in their lives, which you just know will be forgotten by both, in the decades going forward-- the photograph being the only remembrance that this ever occurred. I agree with Deb-- brilliant image." dhbloomfield.com ADDITIONAL REVIEW BY CURATOR CARL SHUBS: "This is a wonderful street photograph, capturing the spontaneous moment between the couple and the apparent counterpoint of looking out one window and into another. There is a sense of movement and also the stillness of the people. All of this is enhanced by the strong black and white image that strips out all the distracting color, focuses on the intimacy of the moment, and frames it in the window. Great job!" www.carlshubsphotography.com ADDITIONAL REVIEW BY CURATOR DOUGLAS STOCKDALE: "This street photograph appears to captures a classical decisive moment; as there is suspense knowing what probably occurred just after this photograph was captured. As in Henri Cartier-Bresson's classic image of his subject suspended mid-air leaping over a puddle as "an event that is ephemeral and spontaneous, where the image represents the essence of the event itself". The serendipity of this chance composition is charming; the framing of the his subjects by the outside window while a second window frame appears in a reflection to draw the readers eyes even more into the the couple's tight space." Douglas Stockdale www.douglasstockdale.com ADDITIONAL REVIEW BY CURATOR STEVE ZMAK: "This photo exemplifies the best in street photography. The photographer is invisible, close in, and invites viewers to share this intimate moment. The subjects are effectively framed by the abstract reflections in the windows, out-of-focus background, black frame, and sense of movement." www.SteveZmak.com More about Michael Rababy: lebanese-american documentary / street photographer, filmmaker michael rababy likes taking pictures of people. he studied art history at the university of san diego before spending time in paris. taking influence from henri toulouse-lautrec and henri cartier-bresson. his ethnographic documentary book ‘american bachelor’ details the highs and lows of the single male. his clients / credits include the VICE magazine photo book, mercedes-benz, merkley and partners, E!, the style network, fine living, people magazine, LA weekly, the village voice, time-out new york, hamburger eyes, james franco / paul mccarthy, the sundance institute, the yes men, citizen LA, and LA canvas. his street photography was featured in girlfriend confidential:LA and he was the official portrait photographer for TLC’s highly rated series LA ink. michael also curates photography exhibits at the hive gallery in the downtown los angeles arts district. his short film 'still lives', which tells a story through black and white still photographs set to piano music, premiered at the palm springs international short film festival, was an official selection of the miami short film festival. his film ‘january man’ screened as an official selection at at the boston international film festival and the miami short film festival. overall, his work can be described as emotionally charged poetic-realism. michael lives in southern california with his record collection and is currently at work on his latest masterpiece. www.michaelrababy.com instagram.com/fullonrad
