I got introduced to photographer Garry Winogrand's work just last Thursday during an assignment for VASTU 101, so naturally, this video and accompanying article caught my eye this morning.

Street photography (though Winogrand himself hated the term) has always terrified me a little as an amateur photographer, so I've never really gotten into it. It's even illegal in a few places, so I might even be justified. Still, there's great stories outside where people are found, and if you're willing to chase it down and look like a bit of an oddball, you can get great pictures while everyone else gets the same, boring, predictable postcard shots.
I like this guy because his photography shows how life really is not the over commercialized way that we are taught it should be.
