I get totally out of myself. It's the closest I come to not existing, I think, which is the best - which is to me attractive.
Garry Winogrand
Image
You've got to deal with how photographs look, what's there, not how they're made.
Garry Winogrand
Image
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.

Image
Teaching doesn't relate to photographing, at least not for me.
Garry Winogrand
Image
Photos have no narrative content. They only describe light on surface.
Garry Winogrand
Image
A photograph can look any way.
Garry Winogrand
Image
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.

Image
I don't go around looking at my pictures.

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
Most photographs are of life, what goes on in the world. And that's boring, generally. Life is banal, you know. Let's say that an artist deals with banality. I don't care what the discipline is.

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.

I'm still compulsively interested in women. It's funny, I've always compulsively photographed women. I still do.
Garry Winogrand
Image
I don't really have any faith in anybody enjoying photographs in a large enough sense to matter. I think it's all about finances, on one side.
Garry Winogrand
Image
The photo is a thing in itself. And that's what still photography is all about.
Garry Winogrand
Image
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
Image
I certainly never wanted to be a photographer to bore myself. It's no fun - life is too short.
Garry Winogrand
Image
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
Image
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
Image
There's no way a photograph has to look... in a sense. There are no formal rules of design that can apply.

At times I'd much rather talk about other work.
