Opinions are like butts, everyone has one. Yes, that's right. Except in this case, the vast majority of photo historians are in agreement. Or I guess I should say I'm in agreement with them. I am not with them on Gary Winogrand. It's a matter of taste. But I think people out the be exposed to a large body of work before determining where they like a photographer or not. I didn't like Irving Penn until I saw a lot of his work. I didn't appreciate a lot of other photographers 'til I saw their work hanging in a gallery.
