Lunchtime
Charles H. Traub's colourful and spontaneous street portraits were made between 1977 and 1980 on the streets of Chicago, New York, and various European cities. They are direct, intimate and joyous; never exploitive. These remarkable photographs celebrate the whimsy of individuals Traub approached. The photographs place the viewer in a moment of fleeting mutuality between Traub and his subject. Lively pairings drive us from one set of quirks to the next, as we associate one individual with another in a new narrative of the street. "I'm struck by how familiar some of the people seem, well actually at once familiar and also very strange..." -Penelope Umbrico This book is the first comprehensive publication of these images, which were exhibited in the early 80s at the Frumkin Gallery, Chicago; The Hudson River Museum, New York; and Padiglione D'Arte Contemporanea, Milan.

Charles Traub: Tickety-Boo
An eclectic compilation of smart-phone snapshots from the past four years of the photographer's daily adventures The more than 200 smartphone photographs in this collection were taken during American photographer Charles H. Traub's (born 1945) everyday adventures over the past four years. The smartphone is a constant companion that makes photography a natural reaction to nearly any stimulus, an action as quick and unobtrusive as blinking a third eye. A stream of consciousness flows through Traub's photographic response to the places, things and people that catch his eye. His subjects are often ambiguous and presented with little context; yet once the images are compiled together they create a kind of pictorial completeness that is both soothing and disquieting. In flipping through the pages, readers are provided with a kaleidoscopic slideshow of moments from Traub's daily life, curated so that each photograph amplifies the others as they lead the reader to the next sequence.
Charles H. Traub
These on-the-spot portraits of "the fallen"--the homeless of late 1970s New York and Chicago--were taken by New York-based photographer Charles H. Traub (born 1945) to reveal the dignity and unexamined humanity of those who were once intrinsic to the urban experience of American cities. In Traub's own words: "It is my hope that these photographs of the tenants of the streets of uptown Chicago and the Bowery New York serve as a tribute to the grace of the 'down and out.'" Indifference and gentrification have displaced those who once inhabited the shelters that nurtured them. They were known to their neighbors by their names, eccentricities and their plight. Nelson Algren's famous book A Walk on the Wild Side asks why "lost people sometimes develop to greater human beings than those who have never been lost in their lives"; Traub's Skid Row confirms both this idea and these inhabitants' place in the fabric of the city.
Cajun Document
