| Gary Winogrand used thousands of films in his lifetime and, in his later years, hardly ever processed and never even looked at any of the
images he had made that day! |

| Garry Winogrand (1928, New York City – 1984) was a noted street photographer known for his portrayal of America in the mid twentieth
century. |
| Winogrand studied painting at City College of New York and painting and photography at Columbia University in New York City in 1948. He also
attended a photojournalism class taught by Alexey Brodovich at The New School for Social Research in New York City in 1951. Winogrand made his
first notable appearance in 1963 at an exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art (MOMA) in New York City. This show included Minor White,
George Krause, Jerome Liebling and Ken Heyman. |
| Winogrand died of gall bladder cancer, in 1984 at age 56, leaving behind nearly 300,000 unedited images, as well as more than 2,500
undeveloped rolls of film. Some of these images have been exhibited posthumously and published in an exhibit catalog entitled Winogrand,
Figments from the Real World, published by MOMA. |
