Garry Winogrand
"Most of Winogrand's best pictures - let us say all of his best pictures - involve luck
of a different order than that kind of minimal, survivor's luck on which any
human achievement depends. It is luck of an order that can perhaps be compared
to the luck of an athlete, for whom the game is devised to make failure the
rule and conspicuous success never wholly in the hands of the hero. The great
Henry Aaron hit a home run 755 times in his career, but failed to do so almost
12,000 times."
John Szarkowski from "Winogrand: Figments from the Real
World"
