Garry Winogrand

For this energetic photograph of a busy street in New York City, photographer Garry Winogrand turned his camera toward an African American man and his dog. The man holds a cup and a white woman presumably drops in some money. Similar to the woman in Paul Strand’s photograph to the left on this wall, this man wears a sign around his neck that indicates he is blind and deaf and asks for charity from passersby. While it is uncertain if this man was homeless, people with disabilities are disproportionately likely to experience housing insecurity.
