Barry Goldwater Photographs :: The Street Sweeper - 1966

The Street Sweeper (1966)
negative: #1966

As smoke from burning leaves filter through the trees, a street sweeper in Escorial, Spain, takes a moments break in his duties and one of the Senator’s best known photographs is born.

"The printing of this negative requires a bit of control because, as one can imagine, the brightness of the sun’s rays dominates the negative, requiring the holding back, as we put it, of the darker areas during printing to allow the full development of the effect of the sun coming through the smoke."
- Barry M. Goldwater
