Geoff Winningham
Few photographers captured the “urban cowboy” flavor of Texas in the ’70s as strongly as Houston’s Geoff Winningham. While still an active photographer and teacher, Winningham’s strongest work, in my eyes, came from his relentless prowling of Texas subcultures, notably high school football, professional wrestling, and the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. His books are hard to come by (and expensive when you do see them), but they’re ripe for reissue.



The jpegs of this work on Winningham’s own site aren’t too hot. Try these instead.
