I attended the Garry Winogrand: All Things Are Photographable event on Thursday, September 20th. This event delved into the life of Garry Winogrand, exploring his career through the years. Garry Winogrand took pictures of everyday people, but he took it in such a way as it if felt like you were getting a glimpse into a secret. The juxtaposition of the many people in his photos made it appear as if you were getting a front seat to the story of someone’s life. This really made me wonder what it meant to truly live. We are always focused on attaining the next goal or chasing after some kind of dream. We never really stop to take in our surroundings, but Garry Winogrand dedicated his whole life to exploring the world around him. I think in many ways we fear taking a break from the paths we have predetermined for ourselves. We fear that if we for one second take our eyes off of our goal then we will lose it forever. Garry, on the other hand, took a risk when he was in college. He picked up a camera and started to photograph the world around him. He describes a perfect time that if we stray from our predetermined path then we find something that we were truly meant for. I think what I learned and what I will take away from this film is that I’m going to start living more curiously and with less fear. I think the greatest thing we can do is experience the world around us before it is too late. Maybe we should all just pick up a camera and start to photograph what we see because maybe it will make us notice the world we live in.
