Carey Winfrey started taking pictures when he was about 10 years old and never stopped. Eventually, he became a journalist, a career that lasted for 45 years. Carey worked for Time Magazine and the New York Times, and even produced a couple of TV shows including “Behind the Lines” and “Assignment America.” During his time working on “Assignment America,” Carey even met and interviewed Henri Cartier-Bresson. Let’s just say it was an interesting experience that involved Carey getting yelled at for touching Cartier-Bresson’s camera. They may not have become fast friends, but Carey says his admiration for Cartier-Bresson’s work never wavered. Carey also learned an important lesson from the experience. When reviewing Cartier-Bresson’s contact sheets for the project, he had a revelation. Carey noted that Cartier-Bresson’s collection of New Jersey images looked much like his own, or those of this friends. His conclusion? The secret to capturing the “decisive moment” is that you have to shoot a lot of photos and throw out all the “indecisive moments.” But you’ll hear the full story in our interview; there’s much more to it than just this. Carey also noted that if you love the sound of the camera clicking, you’ll always find something to shoot. There’s always something to shoot. In a similar vein, he says equipment is so much less important than just having a camera with you. To quote one of his personal heros,“The camera doesn’t make a bit of difference. All of them can record what you are seeing. But you have to see.” – Ernst HaasJoin Bob and Carey as they explore these subjects and many more on the Street Photography Magazine Podcast.

Carey Winfrey – There’s Always Something to Shoot

Today's Guest: Carey Winfrey, editor, Smithsonian  Carey Winfrey, editor, Smithsonian magazine (2007) Blender. Newsweek. TV Guide. Forbes. Playboy. Mac World. Entertainment Weekly. Wizard. Business 2.0. Esquire. These are the magazines I read as soon as they arrive in the mail each week or each month. They are frothy, entertaining reads, and I look forward to each new issue. And then there’s Smithsonian magazine. I can’t remember when or why we started subscribing to Smithsonian. It costs more than most of the others, and it demands more of my time and attention than they do. But for several years now, whenever I give it my time, it pays me back several times over in richly detailed stories about worlds and topics I never dreamed I’d be interested in, let alone become fascinated with. My wife and daughter have followed me into the pages of Smithsonian, and we probably talk about stories we’ve read there more often than anything else in the house. That’s why I jumped at the chance to interview Carey Winfrey, editor of Smithsonian magazine. A lieutenant in the U. S. Marine Corps in the 1960s, Winfrey has since collected a series of damned impressive journalism credentials, including writing for Time magazine, winning an Emmy Award at PBS in 1974, reporting for The New York Times, and landing a job as editor-in-chief of Cuisine. He founded Memories magazine and spent six years as editor-in-chief of American Health. Before landing at Smithsonian in 2001, he spent several years as an assistant managing editor at People magazine.
