ReviewsA wildly original journey through both iconic and unseen images from Winogrand's vast archive, with responses to the photographs that are unorthodox, funny and eye-opening., Dyer and Winogrand co-exist effortlessly, both frenetically productive cranks with commitment issues, whether in theme or form. At its best moments, Street Philosophy embraces the undirected, and uncaring, genius of both its writer and its subjectÄîÄùIn spiteÄîand because of whatÄôs going on, itÄôs impossible to tell whatÄôs going on,Äù Dyer writes at one pointÄîand the book is better for it., Inspiring and unusual...the kind of book that you sit down and read, cover to cover, the first time, and then return to, often, to open the book at random to appreciate just one image and a short essay for inspiration., DyerÄôs riffs are both playful and illuminating, and will make you look anew at the work of a man who once said: ÄúIÄôm a photographer, a still photographer. ThatÄôs it.Äù As this book reminds us, it isn't., A luxurious meditation on the many ways in which the photographerÄôs remarkable images work. . . there is no one quite as well matched to give voice to WinograndÄôs work as Dyer does in this exquisitely layered and thoughtful book., Handsomely designed. . . Dyer provides entertaining commentary for each photo, coaxing possible meanings from the anonymous individuals caught by Winogrand in moments of time., Geoff Dyer writes books that are easy to enjoy but hard to pin down. . . [His] refusal to be hemmed in (not to mention the cheerful indifference to his own best-laid plans) is what makes Dyer the ideal partner for Winogrand, who hated the term Äústreet photographyÄù even as his name became synonymous with it., When I next want to recall instantly why Winogrand is essential, an exemplar of what photography can disclose about reality and our secret, public selves, DyerÄôs will be the first book I reach for., Nicely designed, inviting throughout, and superbly printed...In a sense, every photograph is a double exposure, the time of when it was taken and the times when it is being looked at. We can occupy both times at once when we immerse ourselves in this appealing book., Dyer's riffs are both playful and illuminating, and will make you look anew at the work of a man who once said: I'm a photographer, a still photographer. That's it. As this book reminds us, it isn't., An amazing tome of street-style photographs from the legendary documentarian's 1960s to 1980s archives., A luxurious meditation on the many ways in which the photographer's remarkable images work. . . there is no one quite as well matched to give voice to Winogrand's work as Dyer does in this exquisitely layered and thoughtful book., The Street Philosophy of Garry Winogrand is a book to digest in small bites. Then you can really appreciate Dyer's subtle humor, wide-ranging aesthetic sense, and quirky insights. But wear your boots, because it can get a bit deep at times., Dyer and Winogrand co-exist effortlessly, both frenetically productive cranks with commitment issues, whether in theme or form. At its best moments, Street Philosophy embraces the undirected, and uncaring, genius of both its writer and its subject--In spite--and because of what's going on, it's impossible to tell what's going on, Dyer writes at one point--and the book is better for it., An amazing tome of street-style photographs from the legendary documentarianÄôs 1960s to 1980s archives., Geoff Dyer writes books that are easy to enjoy but hard to pin down. . . [His] refusal to be hemmed in (not to mention the cheerful indifference to his own best-laid plans) is what makes Dyer the ideal partner for Winogrand, who hated the term street photography even as his name became synonymous with it., I found The Street Philosophy of Garry Winogrand so compelling that I devoured it from cover to cover twice, in two mesmerizing sittings...[Winogrand's] work comes across now all the more powerfully for being embraced by one of our outstandingly accomplished writers and critics., When I next want to recall instantly why Winogrand is essential, an exemplar of what photography can disclose about reality and our secret, public selves, Dyer's will be the first book I reach for.

SynopsisIn the tradition of John Szarkowski's classic book Atget , award-winning author Geoff Dyer writes one hundred essays about one hundred photographs, including previously unpublished color work, by renowned street photographer Garry Winogrand., Garry Winogrand--along with Diane Arbus and Lee Friedlander--was one of the most important photographers of the 1960s and 1970s, as well as one of the world's foremost street photographers. Award-winning writer Geoff Dyer has admired Winogrand's work for many years. Modeled on John Szarkowski's classic book Atget , The Street Philosophy of Garry Winogrand is a masterfully curated selection of one hundred photographs from the Winogrand archive at the Center for Creative Photography, with each image accompanied by an original essay. Dyer takes the viewer/reader on a wildly original journey through both iconic and unseen images from the archive, including eighteen previously unpublished color photographs. The book encompasses most of Winogrand's themes and subjects and remains broadly faithful to the chronological and geographical facts of his life, but Dyer's responses to the photographs are unorthodox, eye-opening, and often hilarious. This inimitable combination of photographer and writer, images and text, itself offers what Dyer claims for Winogrand's photography--an education in seeing., In the tradition of John Szarkowski's classic book Atget , award-winning author Geoff Dyer writes one hundred essays about one hundred photographs, including previously unpublished color work, by renowned street photographer Garry Winogrand.
