    Garry Winogrand is one of the world's most influential street photographers and photojournalists, and his images are more than captivating. Winogrand was born and raised in none other than New York City, and found much of his influence and inspiration from the busting city scenes around him. He attended the City College of New York, then later transferred to Columbia University to pursue a career and degree in photojournalism. Winogrand took this and ran with it, and became who he is known for today. 
    
    
    Winogrand was infatuated with the mundane and grit of the everyday American lifestyle, whether it be riding the train, pushing through the crowded streets of New York, or talking at a payphone, he chose to capture it all with his Leica M4. 
    
    
    At the time he was actively shooting photographs, there were a lot of social and political movements going on. By documenting many of these events, Winogrand was doing us all a favor years later by recording these important and influential events in history that we might be able to relive and revisit them today. 
    
    
    Some of my favorite shots of Winogrand's are from his 'Animals' series. Not only are they fun, and super quirky, but they also can tell a lot about the surroundings, the time of day, etc. Winogrand's photographs remain as impactful and intriguing today as they did freshly developed in his day.
