I don't have anything to say in any picture.
Garry Winogrand
Image
The museums want large crowds coming to the shows - it's the same thing. It's hype. Absolutely. But there's nothing evil about it.
Garry Winogrand
Image
Well, I'm not going to get into that. I think that those kind of distinctions and lists of titles like street photographer are so stupid. I'm a photographer, a still photographer. That's it.
Garry Winogrand
Image
I'm trying to learn more and more about what's possible.
Garry Winogrand
Image
There are things I photograph because I'm interested in those things.
Garry Winogrand
Image
Photos have no narrative content. They only describe light on surface.
Garry Winogrand
Image
There's an arbitrary idea that the horizontal edge in a frame has to be the point of reference.
Garry Winogrand
Image
Nobody sold prints then and prices didn't mean anything. In terms of earning your living, it was a joke.
Garry Winogrand
Image
What if I said that every photograph I made was set up? From the photograph, you can't prove otherwise. You don't know anything from the photograph about how it was made, really.
Garry Winogrand
Image
When I'm photographing, I don't have that kind of nonsense running around in my head. I'm photographing. It's irrelevant in the end, so it doesn't mean a thing. It's not going to make me do better work or worse work as I can see it now.
Garry Winogrand
Image
The game, let's say, of trying to state photographic problems is, for me, absolutely fascinating.
Garry Winogrand
Image
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
Image
I develop my own film. And I work in spurts. I pile it up.
Garry Winogrand
Image
Cameras always were seductive. And then a darkroom became available, and that's when I stopped doing anything else.
Garry Winogrand
Image
Just think how minimal somebody's family album is. But you start looking at one of them, and the word everybody will use is charming. Something just happened. It's automatic, just operating a camera intelligently.
Garry Winogrand
Image
Teaching is only interesting because you struggle with trying to talk about photographs, photographs that work, you see.
Garry Winogrand
Image
In the simplest sentence, I photograph to find out what something will look like photographed. Basically, that's why I photograph, in the simplest language. That's the beginning of it and then we get to play the games.
Garry Winogrand
Image
You've got to deal with how photographs look, what's there, not how they're made.
Garry Winogrand
Image
You're talking about meaning. I want to talk about the picture.

It was interesting it's an interesting photographic problem [those demonstrations in the late Sixties]. But if I was doing it as a job, I think I'd have to get paid extra.
