Winogrand's work shows a way of seeing that few are gifted or blessed with. That special sight combined with the courage to wield a camera in the midst of the urban landscape create unforgettable photographs. In the midst of the hustle and bustle, Garry finds the inevitable moments of humanity that occurs in our cities. This book will stand as one of my favorites. I can't recommend it enough.

This book is a "Must have" for anyone who likes to look at books.
While many of the photos have never been published before, the real impact of the book is the effect of the collection it contains. All the photographs in the book are from the continuing body of work Winogrand did out in the city streets. Seeing the work assembeled like this points out the incredible ability he had to react to events which happened far faster than the conscious mind could comprehend.
This collection also illustrates the pure delight Garry Winogrand found in his subject matter. There is no condecension for the subjects lifestyle, no laughing at the situations they willingly place themselves into. What we come to appreciate is the pure joy and amazement Garry found that so many events and emotions can co-exist in such fleeting moments of time.
This is a book I will spend many many hours enjoying.

I am a street photographer existing in my own vacuum until I found the book Facing New York by Bruce Gilden and now this work by Garry Winogrand. I love the genre, the theft of a slice of life as it occurs on our streets. Reality ends up being the perfect casting director for a visual of modern America. Winogrand's work is beautiful in its simplicity and I realize my goal is to follow in his path. A very important photographer for me.
