10 gelatin silver prints

My journey began in Los Angeles where I met up with Garry Winogrand and was his driver for a couple of days. His last Cadillac had just been stolen. The third, if I remember correctly. I had first met him in 1979. During a lunch with Henry Wessel in San Francisco, I asked if he knew where I could find Garry Winogrand. “Of course, no problem. Here is his phone number. Just call him,” he said. And the next day I spent a fantastic day with Garry in Los Angeles. He showed me his famous drawers with undeveloped films and gave me a box of about thirty prints to be published in a Swedish photography magazine I was working for. After these were published, I helped organize a small exhibition of his work at the Moderna museet in Stockholm. Afterwards the prints were returned by mail. Everything was much easier in those days. The friendship with Garry was a real door opener. I was welcomed everywhere. I met Robert Adams in Los Angeles while he was photographing for the book Los Angeles Spring. I also met William Eggleston in Memphis and Richard Benson in Newport. I had brought along my 8 x 10 camera. During my travels, I photographed in the daytime and developed the negatives in my motel room at night. I can assure you that it is wonderful to wake up in the morning seeing ten 8 x 10 negatives hanging on a string.
