You just go through a certain kind of drudgery every time you have to look for something. I've got certain things grouped by now, but there's a drudgery in finding them. There's always stuff missing.

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
I was able to work with two heads. If anything, doing ads and other commercial work were at least exercises in discipline.
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
The game, let's say, of trying to state photographic problems is, for me, absolutely fascinating.
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 go around looking at my pictures.
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
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
When I was a kid in New York I used to go to the zoo. I always liked the zoo. I grew up within walking distance of the Bronx Zoo. And then when my first two children were young, I used to take them to the zoo. Zoos are always interesting. And I make pictures.
Garry Winogrand
You've got to deal with how photographs look, what's there, not how they're made.
Garry Winogrand
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
You've got a number of things that take place that are peculiar to still photography. One: how a picture looks - what you photograph is responsible for how a photograph looks. In other words, it's responsible for the form.
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
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
Actually, the animal pictures came about in a funny way.
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 things I photograph because I'm interested in those things.
Garry Winogrand
It's very easy to make successful photographs - it's very easy.
Garry Winogrand
I sometimes think I'm a mechanic. I just take pictures.
Garry Winogrand
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.
