Quote

I have a good friend who's a very good printer. And he does a certain amount of printing for me. I do all the developing. If somebody's going to goof my film, I'd better do it. I don't want to get that mad at anybody else.

I develop my own film. And I work in spurts. I pile it up.
Garry Winogrand
Image
I photograph what interests me. I'm not saying anything different.
Garry Winogrand
Image
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.

Image
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
Image
There are things I photograph because I'm interested in those things.
Garry Winogrand
Image
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.

Image
Teaching doesn't relate to photographing, at least not for me.
Garry Winogrand
Image
Teaching is only interesting because you struggle with trying to talk about photographs, photographs that work, you see.
Garry Winogrand
Image
Nobody sold prints then and prices didn't mean anything. In terms of earning your living, it was a joke.
Garry Winogrand
Image
You use the vertical edge as the point of reference, instead of the horizontal edge. I have a picture of a beggar, where there's an arm coming into the frame from the side. And the arm is parallel to the horizontal edge and it makes it work. It's all games, you know. But it keeps it interesting to do, to play.

What you photograph is responsible for how a photograph looks - the form, the design, whatever word you want to use.
Garry Winogrand
Image
I have no expectations. None at all.
Garry Winogrand
Image
There is a transformation, you see, when you just put four edges around it. That changes it. A new world is created.
Garry Winogrand
Image
You don't solve anything ever, really. You simply state a problem which, when you're lucky, gives you some idea of what possible problems you can - it indicates, you know, your future headaches.
Garry Winogrand
Image
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
Image
Surviving, that's all. That's all I have in mind .
Garry Winogrand
Image
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
Image
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
Image
At times people in the press were also useful to me.
Garry Winogrand
Image
There's no way a photograph has to look... in a sense. There are no formal rules of design that can apply.
