“I
photograph to find out what something will look like photographed.”
~ Garry Winogrand
~ 1928-1984
~ American street photographer from
the Bronx, New York, known for his
portrayal of U.S. life and its social issues, in the mid-20th century. Though
he photographed in California, Texas and elsewhere, Winogrand was essentially a
New York photographer.
Images
from Main Street in Northampton, Pennsylvania reflect in the window of the
Santa Fe Taco Company on a beautiful late summer afternoon in September.
My
red car can be seen at left, though when I snapped the shot I didn’t realize my
car would be part of the scene!
Food
at the Santa Fe is influenced by New Mexico and the Southwest – their green
chillies are native to New Mexico and they have them shipped to the restaurant
weekly. Their menu includes an eclectic selection of tacos, from shrimp, BLT,
Greek, scallop and cheesesteak tacos and more, very worthy of sampling!
The
Santa Fe is located just down the street from the historic Roxy Theatre.
