The characters revealed through his lens are ordinary sights and ordinary people, but once the camera becomes a barrier between viewer and subject, suddenly it is all right to stare. Lieberman has broken the unspoken pact between CTA riders: the downcast eyes, the feigned disinterest in those around us, the silence of defensively ignoring the strangers in the next seat. Some of his targets choose to extend their deliberate coldness towards the camera, while others stare defiantly back. Together, they all constitute what it means to be a Chicagoan.
