Image
Teaching doesn't relate to photographing, at least not for me.
Garry Winogrand
Image
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.

Image
People are just dumb. They misunderstand.
Garry Winogrand
Image
Photos have no narrative content. They only describe light on surface.
Garry Winogrand
Image
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

I photograph to find out what something will look like photographed.

Image
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
Image
I enjoy photographing. It's always interesting, so I can't say one thing is more fun than another. Everything has it's own difficulties.
Garry Winogrand
Image
You're talking about meaning. I want to talk about the picture.
Garry Winogrand
Image
At times people in the press were also useful to me.
Garry Winogrand
Image
Aside from women, I don't know. My work doesn't function the way Robert Frank's did.
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
I don't think time is involved in how the thing is made.
Garry Winogrand
Image
I'm pretty fast with a camera when I have to be. However, I think it's irrelevant.
Garry Winogrand
Image
Well, in terms of what a camera does. Again, you go back to that original idea that what you photograph is responsible for how it [the photograph] looks. And it's not plastic, in a way. The problem is unique in photographic terms.
