Quotations By Garry Winogrand

• "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.")

• "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."
