It is likely that some of the moments captured here were experienced by many of of us in our normal lives through the sixties. The haunting pictures of roadside motels, through-car window shots to the visually stunning cover make this book a must buy for anyone who appreciates photographs which turn the seemingly mundane into moments of laughter and beauty. Off beat shots combined with striking imagery make this a beautiful collection of photos to own.

The work really is great, and does a marvelous job of evoking this era. He could even write--the grant proposal that got him the money for this (included) is perhaps the best, most concise, most haunting proposal I've ever seen.

Very puzzling why some of these images took 40 years to be published. Here's hoping there's some more magic hiding in his immense trove of mostly-unseen work.

But as good as this is, if you're new to Winogrand "The Man in the Crowd" is nearly as good for a couple hundred less.

I recently bought this book, new, on Amazone for $119! Thanks Amazon! I have checked this book out from the library several times and find it one of his best books. Every time I page through it I feel the urge to grab my Leica and do some street photography. If you can only have one of his books this is the one.
