PHOTOGRAPHY, ART, AND THE MOVING IMAGE:

1___ David Rapoport, (American) Photographer: WOMEN: SOLO: 51 Photographs. // WOMEN: DUO/MULTI: 36 Photographs.

"Untitled," from "WOMEN:" (c) 2007 by David Rapoport.

"My work is an exploration of this interest in myself. Most people wish to be with another person who is balanced. Most of the women I photograph can relate to this idea, so do the men. What brings us together on the street is key. The street is a place of common ground. I am equal to everyone I meet there. It is a place where I can relate and exist. I can offer of myself mentally, emotionally, psychologically, and spiritually, and get the same in return. Whatever interest or attraction is involved in our meeting and communication, this is our main focus. These occurrences can only take place at a specific location, and only in the moment of the shutter taking the picture. This is my experience."
