Garry Winogrand often said that he began to be a serious photographer around 1960. That year he had his first one-person show, and about then he developed his pictorial strategies for photographing in the streets, including his use of a wide-angle lens and a tilted picture plane, where the horizon line is askew.
He said of this period, “I began to live within the photographic process.” With the release of the faster-speed films Kodachrome II (1961) and Kodachrome X (1962), Winogrand also began taking more color photographs of action in the street. He photographed mainly in midtown Manhattan—in the streets, in parks, around office buildings, and in public plazas.
