Garry Winogrand - Part 1

I love this man. A no BS kind of guy who loves what he does. His little dance with the filing cabinet towards the end is great. He is very careful not to lock the keys in the cabinet.

He could have killed a 40mb flash in a day! That is a whole lot of film.

Say NO to khazarian photography!

Really you KNOW they would have all done this?

Wow...cos I know lots of famous photo artists alive who DO NOT use a computer.

can u please add some information about the documentary (concerning the publication year, the author, where it was shown etc.?). it would be a great help for foot-note citations...thanks a lot

This is precisely why I am saying "Do your homework." Winogrand was not about the tool, he was not even about the print. He left about 6000 rolls undeveloped when he died. His interest was in clicking the shutter and walking around, looking at the pretty girls as they walked by. For you to believe that that he would rather be sitting in front of a couple of dual monitors rating and keywording images in Lightroom shows you are just another tech geek who has gotten into "photography."

I learned on film and the clicking of the shutter was great but my 30D makes the same sound and going through the 2000 shots of my Ireland trip was so much better in Lightroom versus the contact sheets of the film days. I have a BS in photography circa 1997. The only digital camera I had even seen back then was the Apple QuickTake. My 30 D is 100x better than my Olympus film camera. Lightroom is an amazing tool. And I DO love the sound of the shutter clicking and the pretty girls who walk by.

I enjoy both digital and film cameras

though a camera is only a tool, and vision is the most important aspect; to me, aesthetics are important as well.

because of that, I choose film for b&w. To me, b&w looks better on film than digital. Also, prints on fiber paper, looks better than any b&w prints made from digital.

You may call me a geek, but I enjoy photography and don't spend ages "modifying" my images on my computer or in the darkroom. I print as is.
