I don't care how they think of it. Some of these people are acquiring some very good pictures by a lot of different photographers.
Garry Winogrand
Image
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.

I have a good friend who's a very good printer. And he does a certain amount of printing for me. I do all the developing. If somebody's going to goof my film, I'd better do it. I don't want to get that mad at anybody else.

I may very well move in. I just don't know. I can't sit here and know what pictures I'm going to take.

What you photograph is responsible for how a photograph looks - the form, the design, whatever word you want to use.

Image
Certainly, you know, you can always learn from some - from somebody else's - from some intelligence. I think. I hope.

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.

Image
When I look at photographs, I couldn't care less how.
Garry Winogrand
Image
I'm pretty fast with a camera when I have to be. However, I think it's irrelevant.
Garry Winogrand
Image
Most photographs are of life, what goes on in the world. And that's boring, generally. Life is banal, you know. Let's say that an artist deals with banality. I don't care what the discipline is.
Garry Winogrand
Image
There's no way a photograph has to look... in a sense. There are no formal rules of design that can apply.
Garry Winogrand
Image
There are things I photograph because I'm interested in those things.

There are no photographs while I'm reloading .

There is a transformation, you see, when you just put four edges around it. That changes it. A new world is created.

I was a hired gun, more or less.

Image
I develop my own film. And I work in spurts. I pile it up.

The primary problem is to learn to be your own toughest critic. You have to pay attention to intelligent work, and to work at the same time. You see. I mean, you’ve got to bounce off better work. It’s matter of working.
