Garry Winogrand - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Garry Winogrand quotes from Wikipedia:

Garry Winogrand - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: "'A photograph is the illusion of a literal description of how the camera 'saw' a piece of time and space.'

'Photography is not about the thing photographed. It is about how that thing looks photographed.'

'I photograph to see what the world looks like in photographs.'

'I like to think of photographing as a two-way act of respect. Respect for the medium, by letting it do what it does best, describe. And respect for the subject, by describing as it is. A photograph must be responsible to both.'

'I don't know if all the women in the photographs are beautiful, but I do know that the women are beautiful in the photographs.' (In reference to his book, 'Women are Beautiful.')

'There is nothing as mysterious as a fact clearly described.'

'All things are photographable.'

'I don't have anything to say in any picture. My only interest in photography is to see what something looks like as a photograph. I have no preconceptions.'"
