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.

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
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.
Garry Winogrand
Surviving, that's all. That's all I have in mind .
Garry Winogrand
There is no special way a photograph should look.
Garry Winogrand
When I look at photographs, I couldn't care less how.
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
Sometimes I feel like . . . the world is a place I bought a ticket to. It’s a big show for me, as if it wouldn’t happen if I wasn’t there with a camera.
Garry Winogrand
I develop my own film. And I work in spurts. I pile it up.
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
Tod or Hank Wessel, Bill Dane, Paul McConough, Steve Shore. Robert Adams, for sure. I'm ready to see what they do.There's a lot of people working reasonably intelligently.
Garry Winogrand
I don't have anything to say in any picture.
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
I have no expectations. None at all.
Garry Winogrand
Teaching doesn't relate to photographing, at least not for me.
Garry Winogrand
At times people in the press were also useful to me.
Garry Winogrand
There is a transformation, you see, when you just put four edges around it. That changes it. A new world is created.
Garry Winogrand
It's the easiest thing in the world to do that, to make successful photographs. It's a bore.
Garry Winogrand
You use the vertical edge as the point of reference, instead of the horizontal edge. I have a picture of a beggar, where there's an arm coming into the frame from the side. And the arm is parallel to the horizontal edge and it makes it work. It's all games, you know. But it keeps it interesting to do, to play.
Garry Winogrand
I photograph to find out what something will look like photographed.
Garry Winogrand
I like to think of photographing as a two-way act of respect. Respect for the medium, by letting it do what it does best, describe. And respect for the subject, by describing it as it is. A photograph must be responsible to both.
