Only just become aware of a book - 1964 - by Garry Winogrand. Some thoughtful person has posted this video of a leaf through the book. It looks like a solid and cohesive body of work. Although I recognise some familiar, superb images, I'm surprised at how consistently good all of it is. I've seen a fair few of his pictures that look really slapdash.

Does anyone know this book? I'm intrigued by the way that colour and mono images are mixed together. I like it. What does anyone else think?

Winogrand shot a huge lot. Even when he died, he left a huge backlog of films that he never came around to developing. With good curation, his work can be stunning. I believe the consistency of what you saw, is a product of good curation (and of course Winogrand's talent and perseverance at burning through rolls).

I think the book you're referring to was compiled by Trudy Wilner Stack, out of print and I'm guessing small production run. Expect to pay handsomely for it, $200-400 depending on condition.

Thank you, yes. I think it's what you leave out more than what you put in. I've always loved his picture of the two people in the open-topped car, where the driver has a huge plaster across his nose. And the shot on the cover of the book too, with that blue sky and exquisite composition.

Thanks for the report.
I really like how color and mono photos are mixed together. This is a combination that many disapprove of, but personally I think it is a very free and creative way of showing photographs.

Cheers - yes, I like the mix too. Usually it's either all colour or all mono. But somehow this works. Perhaps because the images are so absorbing regardless.
