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.

More quotes by Garry Winogrand
I don't care how they think of it. Some of these people are acquiring some very good pictures by a lot of different photographers.
Garry Winogrand
Teaching doesn't relate to photographing, at least not for me.
Garry Winogrand
There are people who are socially ambitious. If you go back aways, the Sculls, for instance, had a lot of money and they were socially ambitious. If you get an old master, it's not going to do you any good socially.
Garry Winogrand
There is a transformation, you see, when you just put four edges around it. That changes it. A new world is created.
Garry Winogrand
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
Tod or Hank Wessel, Bill Dane, Paul McConough, Steve Shore. Robert Adams, for sure. I'm ready to see what they do.There's a lot of people working reasonably intelligently.
Garry Winogrand
There are people who like photography there are people who are worrying about what's going to happen with the dollar. They want to get anything that seems hard. I don't know, but I think it's got to do with economics. Now and then you get somebody who buys a picture because he likes it.
Garry Winogrand
Certainly, you know, you can always learn from some - from somebody else's - from some intelligence. I think. I hope.
Garry Winogrand
I don't go around looking at my pictures.
Garry Winogrand
A photograph can look any way.
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
If you take a good look at the book [ Stock Photographs], it's largely a portrait gallery of faces - faces that I found dramatic. And some of those turned out to be reasonably dramatic photographs. But that's all it is, I think.
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
No one moment is most important. Any moment can be something.
Garry Winogrand
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
What you photograph is responsible for how a photograph looks - the form, the design, whatever word you want to use.
Garry Winogrand
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
I was a hired gun, more or less.
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
The museums want large crowds coming to the shows - it's the same thing. It's hype. Absolutely. But there's nothing evil about it.
