Near Carmel 1964

"Near Carmel" (1964) is a black and white photograph by Garry Winogrand, known for his candid snapshots of American life. The image captures a mundane scene - a car parked in a garage with a person standing nearby. Winogrand's signature style is evident in the composition, which features a sharp focus on the car, while the figure and the background are left slightly blurred. This technique creates a sense of immediacy and a fleeting moment in time, characteristic of his street photography. The photo, like many of Winogrand's works, reflects his interest in exploring the complexities of American society and the everyday interactions of its people.
