“Photographers mistake the emotion they feel while taking the picture as judgment that the photograph is good.” – Garry Winogrand (1928 -1984, street photographer) Today is the birth date of Garry Winogrand, a master of street photography, born on January 14th, 1928. He photographed America in the sixties and seventies, capturing candid shots using a small Leica rangefinder with a wide angle lens so that subjects remained unaware. Only a small portion of his hundreds of thousands of images were developed or published, some of his books include The Animals, Public Relations, Arrivals & Departures: The Airport Pictures, Winogrand 1964, and Figments from the Real World.
