“I photograph to see what the world looks like in photographs.” – Garry Winogrand
Winogrand visited UCSB in 1979. He shot two rolls of film walking from the Art Department to the UCEN for a cup of coffee. When he died, in 1984, he left 2,500 rolls of undeveloped film.
Film was the photosensitized support where images were “captured” and chemically processed. The rolls represented 90,000 separate moments, frames, ideas. But he still hoped to capture something unique, something memorable in his constant ballet movement of picture taking.
