Couple / 327 Commonwealth Avenue

Not on view
Goodman, a Boston photographer best known for his series of photographs made in that city’s red light district, the so-called Combat Zone, has described the circumstances of this image: "I was walking up Commonwealth Avenue in Boston at the end of a warm day in June 1976. I heard music coming from an open second floor window and as I looked up I saw a nude couple. At the same time, they saw me with my camera and said ‘hey, come on up,’ and I said ‘come on down.’" And they did, joyously at ease in their bodies.
