In this article, Sheets talks about the photographer Garry Winogrand, who even after death is referred as the "central photographer of his generation". He would take pictures of the crowded streets of New York in 1960's and show the life of America. After his death from cancer at the age of 56, he left behind unprocessed work. His friend, Leo Rubinfien, is editing his mentor's work which is 6,600 rolls that haven't been viewed. Rubinfien talks about Winogrand's creative process and how he wants to edit them the way he would have done them had he still been alive. I thought that this was very respectful and it shows the love he had for his friend and his respects to his works. John Szarkowski, photography curator at Museum of Modern Art says that during his final years Winogrand works was weak which Rubinfien defends it by saying the mix of beauty and ugliness is complex.
