You've got to deal with how photographs look, what's there, not how they're made.
Garry Winogrand
Image
I don't go around looking at my pictures.
Garry Winogrand
Image
My intention is to make interesting photographs. That's it, in the end. I don't make it up. Let's say it's a world I never made. That's what was there to deal with.
Garry Winogrand
Image
I don't think time is involved in how the thing is made.
Garry Winogrand
Image
It's the easiest thing in the world to do that, to make successful photographs. It's a bore.
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
I think that there isn't a photograph in the world that has any narrative ability... They do not tell stories - they show you what something looks like. To a camera.
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
I'll come back to New York. I think I'll start focusing in more on the entertainment business. I have been doing some of that already, all kinds of monkey business. But I'm all over the place, literally.

Image
Actually, the animal pictures came about in a funny way.
Garry Winogrand
Image
I was a hired gun, more or less.
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.
Garry Winogrand
Image
I'm still compulsively interested in women. It's funny, I've always compulsively photographed women. I still do.
Garry Winogrand
Image
If you take a good look at the book [ Stock Photographs], it's largely a portrait gallery of faces - faces that I found dramatic. And some of those turned out to be reasonably dramatic photographs. But that's all it is, I think.
Garry Winogrand
Image
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
Image
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
Image
A photograph can look any way.
Garry Winogrand
Image
It's very easy to make successful photographs - it's very easy.
Garry Winogrand
Image
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
Image
When I look at photographs, I couldn't care less how.
