My Poems & Photos on Instagram

Reposting @thebelovedinfidel: ⠀ ...⠀ "When I Wanted to be a Street Photographer Like Garry Winogrand" Who Was Garry Winogrand? This poem and my own photographs were inspired by Garry Winogrand (1928-1984), an American photographer famous for his candid pictures of people in the streets of New York and cities in Texas and California.  He belongs to a long line of great street photographers, though he disavowed the term, preferring to call himself simply a photographer. He photographed not only the comings and goings of regular Americans, but also many quintessential American moments, great and small. Winogrand died long before the existence of the digital camera. Yet, he took pictures like a digital photographer. In the course of a day, he would shoot hundreds of photos and consume over a dozen 35mm film rolls. With each one, he had to unload and reload his camera. To see anything, he had to develop the roll and at least print a contact sheet (a single 8x10 print containing “thumbnails” of a single roll’s contents). By some estimates, Winogrand shot over five million photos in his lifetime, only a fraction of which he was able to develop. The first documentary film on Winogrand, “All Things Are Photographable,” premiers in the fall of 2018 and will air on PBS in 2019. The documentarian Sasha Waters Freyer produced and directed the film. The film Website is: https://www.winograndmovie.com/ The film marks a rising interest in Winogrand. His pictures appear all over Pinterest, and a Winogrand Flickr group has been in existence since 2006. Even a casual look at his work online shows the depth and breadth of his photographs. Set in the heart of the twentieth century, they capture a post-war America still in transition. How it will turn out no one can say, and that makes Winogrand’s work all the relevant today. #poetry #poetrycommunity #poetryisnotdead #poetryislife #poetsofinstagram #poetryofinstagram #instapoetry #instapoem #streetphotography #garrywinogrand #womenarebeautiful #newyorkcity #washingtonsquarepark #greenwichvillage #lovepoems #lovepoetry #romanticpoetry #allthingsarephotographable #winigrandmovie
