More quotes by 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.

I was a hired gun, more or less.
Garry Winogrand
If I photograph you I don't have you, I have a photograph of you. It's got its own thing. That's really what photography, still photography, is about.
Garry Winogrand
I have a good friend who's a very good printer. And he does a certain amount of printing for me. I do all the developing. If somebody's going to goof my film, I'd better do it. I don't want to get that mad at anybody else.
Garry Winogrand
There is no special way a photograph should look.
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
I don't think time is involved in how the thing is made.
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 was able to work with two heads. If anything, doing ads and other commercial work were at least exercises in discipline.
Garry Winogrand
It's very easy to make successful photographs - it's very easy.
Garry Winogrand
What you photograph is responsible for how a photograph looks - the form, the design, whatever word you want to use.
Garry Winogrand
Aside from women, I don't know. My work doesn't function the way Robert Frank's did.
Garry Winogrand
You use the vertical edge as the point of reference, instead of the horizontal edge. I have a picture of a beggar, where there's an arm coming into the frame from the side. And the arm is parallel to the horizontal edge and it makes it work. It's all games, you know. But it keeps it interesting to do, to play.
Garry Winogrand
A photograph can look any way.
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
Aside from the fact of just taking things out of context, I don't know why. That's part of a mystery. In a way, a transformation is a mystery to me. But there is a transformation, and that's fascinating.
Garry Winogrand
I'm still compulsively interested in women. It's funny, I've always compulsively photographed women. I still do.
Garry Winogrand
I sometimes think I'm a mechanic. I just take pictures.
Garry Winogrand
Nobody sold prints then and prices didn't mean anything. In terms of earning your living, it was a joke.
