A very interesting set of recollections has been circulating on the blogs about Garry Winogrand as a teacher at UT in the 70's. (http://www.ocgarzaphotography.com/do...randfinal2.pdf)
The piece is fascinating in its own right, but it includes a wonderful anecdote about Russell Lee, one of Roy Stryker's better-known FSA photographers. He taught at UT until the early 70's, perhaps overlapping with Winogrand a year or two. Lee used to require his new students to spend a semester with a view camera, using it to teach them "how to see." Only then could they "move up" to a 35mm.
