More quotes by Garry Winogrand
Certainly, you know, you can always learn from some - from somebody else's - from some intelligence. I think. I hope.
Garry Winogrand
There is no special way a photograph should look.
Garry Winogrand
I develop my own film. And I work in spurts. I pile it up.
Garry Winogrand
Aside from the fact of just taking things out of context, I don't know why. That's part of a mystery. In a way, a transformation is a mystery to me. But there is a transformation, and that's fascinating.
Garry Winogrand
People are just dumb. They misunderstand.
Garry Winogrand
If I photograph you I don't have you, I have a photograph of you. It's got its own thing. That's really what photography, still photography, is about.
Garry Winogrand
You just go through a certain kind of drudgery every time you have to look for something. I've got certain things grouped by now, but there's a drudgery in finding them. There's always stuff missing.
Garry Winogrand
I get totally out of myself. It's the closest I come to not existing, I think, which is the best - which is to me attractive.
Garry Winogrand
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 it as it is. A photograph must be responsible to both.
Garry Winogrand
There are no photographs while I'm reloading .
Garry Winogrand
Surviving, that's all. That's all I have in mind .
Garry Winogrand
I have no expectations. None at all.
Garry Winogrand
There's no way a photograph has to look... in a sense. There are no formal rules of design that can apply.
Garry Winogrand
I know what I like to use myself. I use Leicas, but when I look at the photograph, I don't ask the photograph questions. Mine or anybody else's. The only time I've ever dealt with that kind of thing is when I'm teaching.
Garry Winogrand
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.
Garry Winogrand
I don't think time is involved in how the thing is made.
Garry Winogrand
I don't have anything to say in any picture.
Garry Winogrand
At times I'd much rather talk about other work.
Garry Winogrand
I'm trying to learn more and more about what's possible.
Garry Winogrand
Well, in terms of what a camera does. Again, you go back to that original idea that what you photograph is responsible for how it [the photograph] looks. And it's not plastic, in a way. The problem is unique in photographic terms.
Garry Winogrand
