260. Derivative

Garry Winogrand  will always be a favorite photographer of mine. There is something about his lack of respect for convention that my eye is drawn to. His working method included taking hundreds of thousands of images (many of which he never saw) knowing that shot gun approach would generate any interesting photograph. The art of his work came in the editing process - the ability to select great photographs out of the thousands of mediocre ones.

I don't consciously try to emulate his style... but I am beginning to think that my work will always be derivative.
