More quotes by Garry Winogrand
Cameras always were seductive. And then a darkroom became available, and that's when I stopped doing anything else.
Garry Winogrand
Teaching is only interesting because you struggle with trying to talk about photographs, photographs that work, you see.
Garry Winogrand
The photo is a thing in itself. And that's what still photography is all about.
Garry Winogrand
A pun calls the meaning of a word into question, and it upsets us tremendously. We laugh because suddenly we find out we're not going to get killed. I think a lot of things work that way with photographs.
Garry Winogrand
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

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
What if I said that every photograph I made was set up? From the photograph, you can't prove otherwise. You don't know anything from the photograph about how it was made, really.
Garry Winogrand
I think that there isn't a photograph in the world that has any narrative ability... They do not tell stories - they show you what something looks like. To a camera.
Garry Winogrand
I'm pretty fast with a camera when I have to be. However, I think it's irrelevant.
Garry Winogrand
I don't think time is involved in how the thing is made.
Garry Winogrand
I'm trying to learn more and more about what's possible.
Garry Winogrand
In the simplest sentence, I photograph to find out what something will look like photographed. Basically, that's why I photograph, in the simplest language. That's the beginning of it and then we get to play the games.
Garry Winogrand
Frame in terms of what you want to have in the picture, not about making a nice picture, that anybody can do.
Garry Winogrand
I may very well move in. I just don't know. I can't sit here and know what pictures I'm going to take.
Garry Winogrand
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
There are things I photograph because I'm interested in those things.

People are just dumb. They misunderstand.
