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.

There is a transformation, you see, when you just put four edges around it. That changes it. A new world is created.

I know what I like to use myself. I use Leicas, but when I look at the photograph, I don't ask the photograph questions. Mine or anybody else's. The only time I've ever dealt with that kind of thing is when I'm teaching.
Garry Winogrand
Image
A photograph can look any way.
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
It's the easiest thing in the world to do that, to make successful photographs. It's a bore.
Garry Winogrand
Image
At times I'd much rather talk about other work.
Garry Winogrand
Image
I'm trying to learn more and more about what's possible.
Garry Winogrand
Image
I don't go around looking at my pictures.
Garry Winogrand
Image
There's an arbitrary idea that the horizontal edge in a frame has to be the point of reference.
Garry Winogrand
Image
I enjoy photographing. It's always interesting, so I can't say one thing is more fun than another. Everything has it's own difficulties.
Garry Winogrand
Image
I photograph to find out what something will look like photographed.
