The image of the house in "Iowa" was a revelation. Thank you for introducing me to Nancy Rexroth. And to the intriguing theme: "you inexplicably change the facts with the frame." I'm now looking through my body of work from this point of view. Fascinating what one finds. Well presented.

Winogrand really speaks to me, the way he describes photography and the photographic experience, especially the notion of the "experience of the moment" is just right !

Black cats are NOT bad luck traditionally. That was a very modern invention. Black cats were especially prized on ships because they tend to be particularly good at hunting rats below decks on ships and were considered a good omen for the voyage.

My design mentor was an advertising creative director back in the real ‘mad men’ era. He was a friend of Garry (and also, more so, Elliot Erwitt!). Garry came to him, looking for some work as a photographer. My boss said, “Garry, you know I can’t hire you-the negs will all come back with snot on them.”

“Putting four edges around a set of facts changes those facts.”, what does the ‘second’ facts mean?

@aestheticcontrol 6 ай бұрын

It's still referring to the first instance of "facts" but it means that by making a photo of a scene, lets say a man jumping over a puddle, you have removed that scene from the context of the world and the moment when it was happening. It is now a photograph which can be re-contextualized and take on a different meaning or reading depending on what items of events are in the frame, what the photograph is displayed beside in a gallery, or how it is sequenced in a book. Or even as time passes, the photograph of a man jumping over a puddle can be read differently with hindsight of when it was made versus how things are in the world now.

@@aestheticcontrol Ahh… gotcha! I see. I appreciate your thorough explanation though. That does remind me of an image of Henri Cartier-Bresson’s ‘rising work’ or the piece of work that made him famous. I’ve forgotten the title.

@@aestheticcontrol This’s such a beautiful and brilliant idea 💡 from what he had said or meant. 👍🏻 That’ll make me rethink what I should put inside that four edges… haha 😛
