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
What you photograph is responsible for how a photograph looks - the form, the design, whatever word you want to use.
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
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
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.
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.
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
Teaching is only interesting because you struggle with trying to talk about photographs, photographs that work, you see.
Garry Winogrand
I'm still compulsively interested in women. It's funny, I've always compulsively photographed women. I still do.
Garry Winogrand
I develop my own film. And I work in spurts. I pile it up.
Garry Winogrand
I photograph what interests me. I'm not saying anything different.
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
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
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'm pretty fast with a camera when I have to be. However, I think it's irrelevant.
Garry Winogrand
I have no expectations. None at all.
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
Aside from women, I don't know. My work doesn't function the way Robert Frank's did.
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
People are just dumb. They misunderstand.
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.
Garry Winogrand
