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
It's very easy to make successful photographs - it's very easy.
Garry Winogrand
I don't think time is involved in how the thing is made.
Garry Winogrand
It was interesting it's an interesting photographic problem [those demonstrations in the late Sixties]. But if I was doing it as a job, I think I'd have to get paid extra.
Garry Winogrand
I have no expectations. None at all.
Garry Winogrand
I like to think of photographing as a two-way act of respect. Respect for the medium, by letting it do what it does best, describe. And respect for the subject, by describing it as it is. A photograph must be responsible to both.
Garry Winogrand
If I photograph you I don't have you, I have a photograph of you. It's got its own thing. That's really what photography, still photography, is about.
Garry Winogrand
Photography is not about the thing photographed. It is about how that thing looks photographed.
Garry Winogrand
I don't go around looking at my pictures.
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
A photograph can look any way.
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
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
Well, I'm not going to get into that. I think that those kind of distinctions and lists of titles like street photographer are so stupid. I'm a photographer, a still photographer. That's it.
Garry Winogrand
You're talking about meaning. I want to talk about the picture.
Garry Winogrand
Teaching doesn't relate to photographing, at least not for me.
Garry Winogrand
Aside from the fact of just taking things out of context, I don't know why. That's part of a mystery. In a way, a transformation is a mystery to me. But there is a transformation, and that's fascinating.
Garry Winogrand
There's an arbitrary idea that the horizontal edge in a frame has to be the point of reference.
Garry Winogrand
I'm pretty fast with a camera when I have to be. However, I think it's irrelevant.
Garry Winogrand
The game, let's say, of trying to state photographic problems is, for me, absolutely fascinating.
Garry Winogrand
I sometimes think I'm a mechanic. I just take pictures.
