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.

More quotes by Garry Winogrand
I photograph to find out what something will look like photographed.
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

Garry Winogrand

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
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
If you ever watch children play - what do you observe when you watch children play? You know, they're dead serious. They're not on vacation.
Garry Winogrand
There is no special way a photograph should look.
Garry Winogrand
I'm surviving. I'm a survivor.
Garry Winogrand
A photograph can look any way.
Garry Winogrand
People are just dumb. They misunderstand.
Garry Winogrand
It's a lot of work organizing something, whether it's a show or a book, and I don't want to do it every day.
Garry Winogrand
Certainly, you know, you can always learn from some - from somebody else's - from some intelligence. I think. I hope.
Garry Winogrand
It's very easy to make successful photographs - it's very easy.
Garry Winogrand
Photos have no narrative content. They only describe light on surface.
Garry Winogrand
Actually, the animal pictures came about in a funny way.
