Arrivals & Departures: The Airport Pictures of Garry Winogrand

Summary: Interesting Collection of the Comings and Goings of People
Review: It's just wonderful to see the comings and goings of ordinary people candidly portrayed by a photographer as skilled as Garry Winogrand. The photograghs date from the 1950s to the 1980s with most from the 1970s and 1980s. My how airports and styles have changed. Most of the photograghs are of people in U.S. airports but you'll also see Paris and Marseilles. Among U.S. airports, the majority are from NYC but also Salt Lake City, San Francisco and Los Angeles among others. One of my favorite photographs is of a business man in suit and an old style business hat speaking with obvious pleasure on a pay phone (remember pay phones?). Winogrand also seems to favor attractive women -- whose beauty seems to transcend the fashion of the times. The images of people standing in line are also interesting. Some things never change.

The reproduction quality is very good. Highly recommended.
