Gary Winogrand

“Most people who walk through a city ignore it. This is how most people bear a city…Garry Winogrand’s lot in life was to be so constituted that he spent what must have been most of his waking hours pursuing the absolute opposite of this experience: hunting down his fellow citizens…” (Gary Winogrand)

“Winogrand’s view of women was perhaps outrageous, or was perhaps saved from outrageousness by its simplicity and openness, and by its reckless enthusiasm.” 

“The way I would put it is that I get totally out of myself. It’s the closest I come to not existing, I think, which is the best—which to me is attractive.” GW, US Photography, 1983
