Photographers mistake the emotion they feel while taking the photo as a judgment that the photograph is good
Garry Winogrand

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.

Cameras always were seductive. And then a darkroom became available, and that's when I stopped doing anything else.

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.

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.

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.

Just think how minimal somebody's family album is. But you start looking at one of them, and the word everybody will use is charming. Something just happened. It's automatic, just operating a camera intelligently.
Garry Winogrand
Image
My intention is to make interesting photographs. That's it, in the end. I don't make it up. Let's say it's a world I never made. That's what was there to deal with.
Garry Winogrand
Image
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
Image
I don't have anything to say in any picture.
Garry Winogrand

Teaching is only interesting because you struggle with trying to talk about photographs, photographs that work, you see.

Nobody sold prints then and prices didn't mean anything. In terms of earning your living, it was a joke.

Image
Sometimes I feel like . . . the world is a place I bought a ticket to. It’s a big show for me, as if it wouldn’t happen if I wasn’t there with a camera.

Frame in terms of what you want to have in the picture, not about making a nice picture, that anybody can do.

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