Something to note about the monkey shot. It’s taken in front of the Arsenal Building which is right in front of the Cetnral Park Zoo. The image was included in Winogrand’s “The Animals” book. The zoo was a different place back then, like zoos in old children’s books, with animals in dingy small cages. Here’s an interesting piece on the series: http://www.najp.org/publications/articles/Als.pdf

It’s curious to note that there’s lots of misinformation about the image. Descriptions invariably say the pair was a couple. I recall an interview in which Winogrand said he didn’t think they were a couple. Also many descriptions claim the pair was walking down 5th Avenue or alternately Park Avenue which any New Yorker can tell you is obviously not the case.

Also of interest:

This interview with the man is also of note: http://elmo.academyart.edu/study/ph101/Required%20reading/Winogrand%20Interview.htm

Excellent link and spell check. I bet parts of that video worked their way into this film too, as I mentioned back here.

if you can track this down, it’s great to see Winigrand at work. Bill Moyers follows him around:

I viewed it at the Museum of TV and Radio in NY a few years ago. Maybe they have it in LA as well.
