Between casual snapshooters and creative photographers who take the casual seriously, there seems to be another interface. An “aesthetic of snapshot” has appeared which partakes of both immediate seeing and disciplined craft. The strongest of this school, Gary Winograd, Lee Friedlander, Emmet Gowin, have a fine quality of perception. Perhaps they have always been intuitive, have always felt their way into the subject and reached a degree of penetration that zone system photographers earn by hard work.
