Ron Rubenstein // Derelict Dreaming

Editor's Note by Zaar Riisberg

Ron Rubenstein reminds me of the beat generation. I don’t know why. Of an Americana long lost? Perhaps. His style is immediate, almost a barrage of shots - he just shoots what he finds interesting. These four shots taken, not far from each other, is typical of RR, in the sense that this is his art - his modus is as much his talent as his actual talent.

I’ve seen some stunning shots from Ron’s hand - but what we are displaying here on AB is a type of photographer, few and far between - there is a raw presence in all of RR’s shots, as if he breathes through the lens, and takes life in that way. Along with a glass of red, of course.
