So many fantastic quotes in this to go along with Winogrand's always arresting images. If getting good pictures was simply a matter of taking thousands upon thousands of them, we would have a lot more modern day Garrys than we do

Wow. The depth of these photographs is so amazing. These animals in these spaces and the animals viewing them made me so sad. He’s really captured their feelings. Thank you for sharing this. I’m rethinking the zoos of my childhood now for sure.

I feel like his photographs strike the same chord as Brandon Stanton's Humans of New York. Real, raw, unscripted. We see ourselves in what he sees, his own words affirming "When I'm photographing, I see life. That's what I deal with. I don't have pictures in my head… I don't worry about how the picture is going to look. I let that take care of itself… It's not about making a nice picture. That anyone can do.” An impeccable eye. I have to wonder if his style would excel today the way it did when he was alive.

20,000 rolls of film? Just wow. I do love how you can really tell when someone knows how to make a point with an image, and he has certainly achieved that. This man knew his craft. I just wonder how many out of those 20k rolls he saw an image and thought "well, that one's a dud" as he chose which ones to publish. He clearly knew a good picture when he saw it.
