The American photographer Garry Winogrand said that he took photographs to "see what the world looked like photographed". Photographers have always had this as their mission statement, but the three decades from the late 1950's onwards was the real golden age of the photographic journey. The Genius of Photography -- Paper Movies relives the journeys that produced some of the most acclaimed paper movies. The programme takes a fascinating look at Robert Frank's odyssey through 50s America, William Klein's one-man assault on the sidewalks of New York, Garry Winogrand's charting of the human comedy in Central Park Zoo, Tony Ray Jones's dissection eccentricity at the English seaside, and finally, William Eggleston's guide to Memphis and the American South. Episode four of the series also examines the arrival of colour as a credible medium for serious photographers, as controversial at the time as Dylan going electric.
