For
his book The Street Philosophy of Garry Winogrand Geoff Dyer has
selected 100 photographs by Winogrand and written a page long essay
about each one. It's a simple but extremely effective format that Dyer
borrows from Atget by John Szarkowski.
Dyer's
essays are the perfect accompaniment to the photos that they dissect;
playful, irreverent and full of interesting observations. They force the
reader to fully engage with each image and study it's details,
something it's so easy not to do when flicking through a book of
photographs.
