Garry Winogrand

Garry Winogrand (14 January 1928, New York City – 19 March 1984, Tijuana, Mexico) was a street photographer known for his portrayal of America in the mid 20th century. Winogrand's photographs of the Bronx Zoo and the Coney Island Aquarium made up his first book The Animals. (1969) a collection of pictures that observe the connections between humans and animals. It is written by John Szarkowski. This book is full of wonder and magic. I love love love the photos found in this book. This man could be one of my heroes. His photos are so comical and portray such a unique side of us humans. He really captures things that are amazingly ironic. I just about ate up this book. Its so wonderful!
