09/13/2002 Entry: "Garry's Photos"
"I look at the pictures I have done up to now, and they make me feel that who we are and how we feel and what is to become of us just doesn't matter. Our aspirations and successes have been cheap and petty. I read the newspapers, the columnists, some books, I look at some magazines (our press). They all deal in illusions and fantasies. I can only conclude that we have lost ourselves, and that the bomb may finish the job permanently, and it just doesn't matter, we have not loved life." - Garry Winogrand, in NYT.
Garry Winogrand died in 1984, leaving more than 2500 rolls of film exposed, but undeveloped. He was a prolific shooter throughout his career, one look at his last camera shows the kind of wear and tear only evident when someone uses their camera a lot.
His photographs, now in an exhibition at the ICP, and taken on a Guggenheim grant in 1964 look to capture America at a crossroads (after JFK's assassination).
