Street photography was once the disowned child of photography. Now it is widely recognized as an art form whose masters deserve great respect. Unlike portrait photography, the artist has to identify a worthy scene as it appears in the surrounding landscape or city scape. Often this is fast moving, evanescent. Then he or she has to manipulate the equipment and get a credible photo. Only wartime photographers and others in perilous situations exceed street photographers in challenges.
Winograd is considered the greatest American street photographer, though some might argue for Vivian Maier or even Weegee. He was a photo taking machine, an obsessive. But what great sense of moment, what powerful images he captured, what life. Over half of the images in this volume, issued 15 years after his death, had never been published until then. This is not to say he was under-appreciated. He was recognized as a great for several decades, and this volume shows why.
Condition: Very good in all aspects. The images are wonderful and nicely sized. The printing is crisp and clear.
