Garry Winogrand
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
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
Los Angeles has interested me for a long time. I was in Texas for five years, for the same reason. I wanted to photograph there.
Garry Winogrand
I don't go around looking at my pictures.
Garry Winogrand
Teaching is only interesting because you struggle with trying to talk about photographs, photographs that work, you see.
Garry Winogrand
I photograph what interests me. I'm not saying anything different.
Garry Winogrand
You're talking about meaning. I want to talk about the picture.
