Class Time with Garry Winogrand
By O.C. Garza


I stumbled across a fascinating videotaped interview of Garry Winogrand by Bill Moyers on Jim Arnold’s Web site (see the video here). I had no idea this tape existed and when I saw the interview it brought back some fascinating memories about Garry Winogrand. I mailed Jim Arnold to let him know how much I appreciated him putting that interview with one of my photography instructors on the internet. He emailed back that I should post stories about my class time with Garry on the Internet. So here goes…

My intent is to lend my small bit of insight and a few photographs of the Garry Winogrand I knew back in the mid 70s. During my time at UT I had the opportunity to take four semesters of classes with Garry Winogrand. I found the two “disciplines” (photojournalism and art photography) within the great context of photography in general, to be quite eye-opening.
