Winogrand On Teaching Photography

I found this quote this year and made a note of it , it made me laugh out loud , I was hoping to use it in one of my Blogs but never did , its too good not to share so I blogged it today , sadly I can’t remember where I read it !

Its funny because its true , maybe a little direct for some ?

Many will never understand what photography is all about , I think its a DNA thing ?

 “I show the kids the work of Atget, Walker, HCB, Lee, Diane, and myself,” he replied. “And if they don’t understand what photography is all about from that, then fuck ’em !”


Winnogrand was speaking to Gerry Badger .
