Garry Winogrand

The lesson: shoot a lot and stop judging in advance. Winogrand worked close with a wide 28mm lens, tilted his horizons without apology and is remembered for saying he photographed to find out what something would look like photographed. When he died in 1984 he left roughly 2,500 rolls of film he had never developed. That number is a warning as much as an inspiration, but the core habit is sound: raise the camera whenever something catches your eye, then decide later. The Animals, Women Are Beautiful and Public Relations, three of the four books he published in his lifetime, show how much variety that one habit produced, from zoos to crowded sidewalks to press events.
