          “Photographers mistake the emotion they feel while taking the photo 
              as a judgment that the photograph is good” - Garry Winogrand

What we can learn on Garry Winogrand is that 1. he shot a lot, really a lot.at the time of his unfortunate early-death (at age 56) he left behind 2,500 rolls of undeveloped film, 6,500 rolls of developed but not proofed exposures (not made into contact sheets), and contact sheets made from about 3,000 rolls
Winogrand shot at a pace in which he couldn’t even see his own photos (because he was always out on the streets, shooting).
In total of the research, they can be certain that he shot at least 5,850,000 photos in his lifetime
