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.

More quotes by Garry Winogrand
If you ever watch children play - what do you observe when you watch children play? You know, they're dead serious. They're not on vacation.
Garry Winogrand
I'm still compulsively interested in women. It's funny, I've always compulsively photographed women. I still do.
Garry Winogrand
I'm surviving. I'm a survivor.
Garry Winogrand
There's no way a photograph has to look... in a sense. There are no formal rules of design that can apply.
Garry Winogrand
I was able to work with two heads. If anything, doing ads and other commercial work were at least exercises in discipline.

I don't think time is involved in how the thing is made.

Garry Winogrand
I don't go around looking at my pictures.
Garry Winogrand
As far as my end of it, photographing, goes, all I'm interested in is pictures, frankly. I went to events, and it would have been very easy to just illustrate that idea about the relationships between the press and the event, you know.
Garry Winogrand
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
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
Los Angeles has interested me for a long time. I was in Texas for five years, for the same reason. I wanted to photograph there.
Garry Winogrand
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
I photograph to find out what something will look like photographed.
Garry Winogrand
I was a hired gun, more or less.
Garry Winogrand
There are people who are socially ambitious. If you go back aways, the Sculls, for instance, had a lot of money and they were socially ambitious. If you get an old master, it's not going to do you any good socially.
Garry Winogrand
You see something happening and you bang away at it. Either you get what you saw or you get something else--and whichever is better you print.
Garry Winogrand
I don't think of it as difficult. It would be difficult if I were carrying something heavy, but I carry Leicas. You can't talk about it that way. I'm not operating a shovel and getting tired.
Garry Winogrand
The photo is a thing in itself. And that's what still photography is all about.
Garry Winogrand
When I look at photographs, I couldn't care less how.
