When Lee Friedlander pays tribute, it means something

Featured photograph, of Garry Winogrand in New York City, 1971, is reproduced from Lee Friedlander: The Mind and the Hand, the Eakins Press new release collecting six concise volumes of Friedlander's photography, each dedicated to one of the great friends of his long life—Richard Benson, William Christenberry, William Eggleston, Walker Evans, John Szarkowski and Winogrand—all of whom happen to be towering figures in American post-war photography, alongside Friedlander himself. "There is nothing as mysterious as a fact clearly described," Winogrand is quoted. "I like to think of photographing as a two way act of respect. Respect for the medium, by letting it do what it does best, describe. And respect for the subject, by describing it as it is. A photograph must be responsible to both."
