Image
The game, let's say, of trying to state photographic problems is, for me, absolutely fascinating.
Garry Winogrand
Image
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
Image
A photograph can look any way.
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.
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 don't have anything to say in any picture.
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
You've got to deal with how photographs look, what's there, not how they're made.
Garry Winogrand
Image
There are photographers whose shows I try to make it my business to see, if I'm in the city. There are photographers I have no interest in at all.
Garry Winogrand
Image
In terms of content, you can make a problem for yourself, I mean, make the contest difficult, let's say, with certain subject matter that is inherently dramatic.
Garry Winogrand
Image
Aside from women, I don't know. My work doesn't function the way Robert Frank's did.
Garry Winogrand
Image
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
Image
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
Image
What you photograph is responsible for how a photograph looks - the form, the design, whatever word you want to use.
Garry Winogrand
Image
There is nothing as mysterious as a fact clearly described.
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's very easy to make successful photographs - it's very easy.
Garry Winogrand
Image
I photograph to find out what something will look like photographed.
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.
