Quotes from Lee Friedlander

[Garry Winogrand] was a bull of a man and the world his china shop.

At first, my presence in my photos was fascinating and disturbing. But as time passed and I was more a part of other ideas in my photos, I was able to add a giggle to those feelings.

... photographs are so loaded with information. They're remarkable. As I said, you get both the tree and the forest.

I always wanted to be a photographer. I was fascinated with the materials, but I never dreamed I would be having this much fun. I imagined something much less elusive, much more mundane.

With a camera like that you don't believe you're in the masterpiece business. It's enough to be able to peck at the world.

... a mysterious intersection of chance and attention that goes well beyond the existential surrealism of the 'decisive moment'.
