“It’s the closest I come to not existing.”
His method is very jittery. It’s as if he is pretending not be taking photos at all. Like he is playing around with the camera, but it doesn’t look very convincing to me. Of course people on the streets are involved in their own thoughts and a lot can be done without notice. He actually shoots just as he brings it to his eye, and then acts as if something went wrong with the shot, or that it wasn’t very important at all. If need be he can be fairly confronting, you can tell that he isn’t backing away. The guy in the blue blazer is clearly wanting to confront him but Winogrand has a very absent minded presence. He seems harmless. He makes it as easy as possible for you to walk away.
