  5. Later Life • Published four books of photographs • Women are Beautiful (1975) a random collection of women caught on the street • Used a small-format 35mm camera that enabled him to photograph freely and quickly • When he died in 1984 he left more than 2,500 rolls of undeveloped film and over 300,000 undeveloped images

  6. Garry Winogrand • Garry Winogrand appealed to me because the majority of his photographs were candid, natural photos • Winogrand continues to appeal to audiences because he succeeds in capturing everyday American life during the 1960s • Winogrand’s work might be used in contemporary media to show what everyday life was like in the mid 1900s
