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 have no idea what's going to happen. Who knows - if they can't afford to buy a boat, maybe they buy a print. Who knows what happens with their buck?
Garry Winogrand
I'm surviving. I'm a survivor.
Garry Winogrand
I'll come back to New York. I think I'll start focusing in more on the entertainment business. I have been doing some of that already, all kinds of monkey business. But I'm all over the place, literally.
Garry Winogrand
At times I'd much rather talk about other work.
Garry Winogrand
There are photographers whose shows I try to make it my business to see, if I'm in the city. There are photographers I have no interest in at all.
Garry Winogrand
In terms of content, you can make a problem for yourself, I mean, make the contest difficult, let's say, with certain subject matter that is inherently dramatic.
Garry Winogrand
Frame in terms of what you want to have in the picture, not about making a nice picture, that anybody can do.
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
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
Most photographs are of life, what goes on in the world. And that's boring, generally. Life is banal, you know. Let's say that an artist deals with banality. I don't care what the discipline is.
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
I'm still compulsively interested in women. It's funny, I've always compulsively photographed women. I still do.
Garry Winogrand
What you photograph is responsible for how a photograph looks - the form, the design, whatever word you want to use.
Garry Winogrand
Aside from women, I don't know. My work doesn't function the way Robert Frank's did.
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
You've got to deal with how photographs look, what's there, not how they're made.
Garry Winogrand
It's very easy to make successful photographs - it's very easy.
Garry Winogrand
I develop my own film. And I work in spurts. I pile it up.
Garry Winogrand
I'm talking about technical goofs. I'm pretty much on top of it. The kind of picture you're referring to would have to be more about the effects of technical things, technical phenomena, and I'm just not interested in that kind of work at all.
Garry Winogrand
The photo is a thing in itself. And that's what still photography is all about.
Garry Winogrand
