Gary Winogrand


Much like Bruce Gilden, Gary Winogrand was a street photographer, and one whose work I absolutely adore. The candid nature of his work is beautiful, and the subject matter seems to always be in a situation or manner that strikes thought and narrative. Sometimes they remind me of movie stills, but then again, they remind me of a stroll down the street. Although the clothing of those in the photographs dates them, they still have a feeling reminiscent of one's own walk down a street. His photographs seem to tell a story where there may be no story to tell at all. And that is admirable.
