Tickety-Boo by Charles H. Traub

'Tickety-Boo' by Charles H. Traub will bring the viewer closer to everyone around them in ways they can’t explain to themselves.

From ‘Tickety-Boo’ © Charles H. Traub One of the things many people admire and appreciate about Charles H. Traub‘s work is this: one can look at an image of his which immediately conjures, say, the work of Botticelli, or Michelangelo, or Diane Arbus or Robert Frank’s (and others who reside in the collective mind’s-eye of the world). And at the same time, one can also conjure an image they’ve…

Portraits from Charles H. Traub’s ‘Lunchtime’ series. I can’t stop reading about this man, his photographs are so cool, I can’t help but feel like people aren’t as open to get their photographs taken on the street as they were before. I recently got back into street photography and got a lot more no’s than yes’s (which is totally fine) but it definitely feels like there was some sort of shift in attitude. Could the cause of that be because now we live in a surveillance society, nobody wants to be photographed, recorded or monitored in any type of way?

Assignment #1

Charles H. Traub (b. 1945) is most known for his Lunchtime photo series he captured on the streets of major cities throughout the 1970s. I’ve chosen a few photos from this series because of the technicolor intimacy captured in these images of nameless people. The photos are tightly framed on the individuals faces yet show so much personality, whether it be how they style their hair or how some are caught in the act of fixing themselves into a pose for the camera. This series captures just a millisecond of someone you would pass on the street and maybe not pay any mind to as you're on your way to or back from lunch. Traub also possesses a beautiful command of color which I feel is exemplified in this photo series and it contributes to the striking quality that these photos have.
