Garry Winogrand was a photographer who lived from 1928-1984. He took pictures of the "oddity" and "unusual" post war America. Something interesting you can notice in his photography is his use of the horizon line. It seems to be tilting in many of his photos, and that gives the veiwer the sense that something is off. In most of his photos, the setting is normal, in fact mostly everything about the picture is normal, EXCEPT for one small thing. Here are some examples:

 

Another important aspect of his photography is the presence of motion. He seems to always capture the picture as someone is moving, or at least not posing. You get the sense, when you look at his photos that no one even noticed he had a camera. That the weird just happened and no one thought anything of it. He once said:

“There is nothing as mysterious as a fact clearly described. I photograph to see what something will look like photographed.”

He didn't plan what he was going to photograph, he just let it happen. And so I was inspired to try his method. My pictures show some slight oddity in the midst of Washington Square as I tried to imitate the works of Garry Winogrand.
