Because of my switch to color film, I found myself staring at twenty rolls of black & White film for the past six months. I’m not a complete fool. I know that even if I’m having fun with color, the black & White stuff has to be processed. I never believed that Winogrand waited a year to develop all his film. He shot so much that a huge backlog was inevitable. When he photographed that guy with the broken glasses and blood streaming down his face, at a Vietnam protest, I think there’s a good chance that he wanted to see those frames that same night…Who knows. I’m not use to finding image after image, which I have no recollection of.
This is one of those pictures from last April…
