Chicago (Boy blowing bubble)

A striking black-and-white gelatin silver print by Marvin E. Newman capturing a candid moment of childhood joy on the streets of Chicago. The image freezes a young boy mid-breath as he blows a bubble, the fleeting, ephemeral subject contrasting beautifully with the permanence of the photograph. Newman's masterful use of light and composition transforms a simple, everyday moment into a timeless celebration of urban childhood.
