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.

More quotes by Garry Winogrand
Let's put it this way - I photograph what interests me all the time. I live with the pictures to see what that thing looks like photographed. I'm saying the same thing I'm not changing it.
Garry Winogrand
I photograph to find out what something will look like photographed.
Garry Winogrand
There's an arbitrary idea that the horizontal edge in a frame has to be the point of reference.

Garry Winogrand
I'm trying to learn more and more about what's possible.
Garry Winogrand
Certainly, you know, you can always learn from some - from somebody else's - from some intelligence. I think. I hope.
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
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
There's no way a photograph has to look... in a sense. There are no formal rules of design that can apply.
Garry Winogrand
Actually, the animal pictures came about in a funny way.
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 don't know if all the women in the photographs are beautiful, but I do know that the women are beautiful in the photographs.
Garry Winogrand
There are no photographs while I'm reloading .
Garry Winogrand
At times I'd much rather talk about other work.
Garry Winogrand
I have no expectations. None at all.
Garry Winogrand
It's the easiest thing in the world to do that, to make successful photographs. It's a bore.
Garry Winogrand
There are things I photograph because I'm interested in those things.
Garry Winogrand
I photograph what interests me. I'm not saying anything different.
