More quotes by Garry Winogrand
You're talking about meaning. I want to talk about the picture.
Garry Winogrand
I'm talking about technical goofs. I'm pretty much on top of it. The kind of picture you're referring to would have to be more about the effects of technical things, technical phenomena, and I'm just not interested in that kind of work at all.
Garry Winogrand
You've got a number of things that take place that are peculiar to still photography. One: how a picture looks - what you photograph is responsible for how a photograph looks. In other words, it's responsible for the form.
Garry Winogrand
Frame in terms of what you want to have in the picture, not about making a nice picture, that anybody can do.
Garry Winogrand
You've got to deal with how photographs look, what's there, not how they're made.
Garry Winogrand
In terms of content, you can make a problem for yourself, I mean, make the contest difficult, let's say, with certain subject matter that is inherently dramatic.
Garry Winogrand
Let's put it this way - I photograph what interests me all the time. I live with the pictures to see what that thing looks like photographed. I'm saying the same thing I'm not changing it.
Garry Winogrand
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
I don't have anything to say in any picture.
Garry Winogrand
I don't really have any faith in anybody enjoying photographs in a large enough sense to matter. I think it's all about finances, on one side.
Garry Winogrand
I enjoy photographing. It's always interesting, so I can't say one thing is more fun than another. Everything has it's own difficulties.
Garry Winogrand
I'm still compulsively interested in women. It's funny, I've always compulsively photographed women. I still do.
Garry Winogrand
Nobody sold prints then and prices didn't mean anything. In terms of earning your living, it was a joke.
Garry Winogrand
Photographers mistake the emotion they feel while taking the photo as a judgment that the photograph is good
Garry Winogrand
There is a transformation, you see, when you just put four edges around it. That changes it. A new world is created.
Garry Winogrand
You use the vertical edge as the point of reference, instead of the horizontal edge. I have a picture of a beggar, where there's an arm coming into the frame from the side. And the arm is parallel to the horizontal edge and it makes it work. It's all games, you know. But it keeps it interesting to do, to play.
Garry Winogrand
I'm living in Los Angeles for a couple of years. I've been a gypsy for quite a while. It'll come to an end. I'm going to come back to New York.
Garry Winogrand
It's a lot of work organizing something, whether it's a show or a book, and I don't want to do it every day.
Garry Winogrand
No one moment is most important. Any moment can be something.
Garry Winogrand
Teaching doesn't relate to photographing, at least not for me.
