I develop my own film. And I work in spurts. I pile it up.
Garry Winogrand
A photograph can look any way.
Garry Winogrand
When I'm photographing, I don't have that kind of nonsense running around in my head. I'm photographing. It's irrelevant in the end, so it doesn't mean a thing. It's not going to make me do better work or worse work as I can see it now.
Garry Winogrand
The photo is a thing in itself. And that's what still photography is all about.
Garry Winogrand
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.
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
No one moment is most important. Any moment can be something.
Garry Winogrand
I'm still compulsively interested in women. It's funny, I've always compulsively photographed women. I still do.
Garry Winogrand
Aside from women, I don't know. My work doesn't function the way Robert Frank's did.
Garry Winogrand
Just think how minimal somebody's family album is. But you start looking at one of them, and the word everybody will use is charming. Something just happened. It's automatic, just operating a camera intelligently.
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
People are just dumb. They misunderstand.
Garry Winogrand
Surviving, that's all. That's all I have in mind .
Garry Winogrand
You don't solve anything ever, really. You simply state a problem which, when you're lucky, gives you some idea of what possible problems you can - it indicates, you know, your future headaches.
Garry Winogrand
I have no idea what's going to happen. Who knows - if they can't afford to buy a boat, maybe they buy a print. Who knows what happens with their buck?
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
There are no photographs while I'm reloading .
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
I don't have anything to say in any picture.
Garry Winogrand
Frame in terms of what you want to have in the picture, not about making a nice picture, that anybody can do.
