Rambling About

My "Man In The Crowd" handle is from a monograph about Garry Winogrand. He's one of my favorite photographers and the photographs in The Man In The Crowd were taken when I was a painter in my '20s. I lived those strange exciting days. His photographs capture their very essence.
His 1980 book, Stock Show:
The Fort Worth Fat Stock Show and Rodeo was a little too much for Texans to handle. What is it... between thought and expression lies a lifetime? Winogrands' photographs hit the nail on the head.
T'ain't pretty McGee... but real the photographs are.
