Garry Winogrand

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
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
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
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.
Garry Winogrand
Image
Frame in terms of what you want to have in the picture, not about making a nice picture, that anybody can do.
Garry Winogrand
Image
Certainly, you know, you can always learn from some - from somebody else's - from some intelligence. I think. I hope.
