There are things I photograph because I'm interested in those things.
Garry Winogrand
Image
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.

I don't have anything to say in any picture.

At times I'd much rather talk about other work.
Garry Winogrand
Image
I photograph to find out what something will look like photographed.
Garry Winogrand
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.
Garry Winogrand
Image
Aside from women, I don't know. My work doesn't function the way Robert Frank's did.
Garry Winogrand
Image
Teaching doesn't relate to photographing, at least not for me.
Garry Winogrand
Image
Cameras always were seductive. And then a darkroom became available, and that's when I stopped doing anything else.
Garry Winogrand
Image
I'm still compulsively interested in women. It's funny, I've always compulsively photographed women. I still do.
Garry Winogrand
Image
You see something happening and you bang away at it. Either you get what you saw or you get something else--and whichever is better you print.
Garry Winogrand
Image
Teaching is only interesting because you struggle with trying to talk about photographs, photographs that work, you see.
