More quotes by Garry Winogrand
I don't know if all the women in the photographs are beautiful, but I do know that the women are beautiful in the photographs.
Garry Winogrand
I may very well move in. I just don't know. I can't sit here and know what pictures I'm going to take.
Garry Winogrand
I certainly never wanted to be a photographer to bore myself. It's no fun - life is too short.
Garry Winogrand
What if I said that every photograph I made was set up? From the photograph, you can't prove otherwise. You don't know anything from the photograph about how it was made, really.
Garry Winogrand
I think that there isn't a photograph in the world that has any narrative ability... They do not tell stories - they show you what something looks like. To a camera.
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
When I was a kid in New York I used to go to the zoo. I always liked the zoo. I grew up within walking distance of the Bronx Zoo. And then when my first two children were young, I used to take them to the zoo. Zoos are always interesting. And I make pictures.
Garry Winogrand
Photographers mistake the emotion they feel while taking the photo as a judgment that the photograph is good
Garry Winogrand
I'm pretty fast with a camera when I have to be. However, I think it's irrelevant.
Garry Winogrand
There are things I photograph because I'm interested in those things.
Garry Winogrand
Well, in terms of what a camera does. Again, you go back to that original idea that what you photograph is responsible for how it [the photograph] looks. And it's not plastic, in a way. The problem is unique in photographic terms.
Garry Winogrand
Surviving, that's all. That's all I have in mind .
Garry Winogrand
Actually, the animal pictures came about in a funny 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
I develop my own film. And I work in spurts. I pile it up.
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
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.
Garry Winogrand
Sometimes I feel like . . . the world is a place I bought a ticket to. It’s a big show for me, as if it wouldn’t happen if I wasn’t there with a camera.
Garry Winogrand
When I look at photographs, I couldn't care less how.
Garry Winogrand
In the simplest sentence, I photograph to find out what something will look like photographed. Basically, that's why I photograph, in the simplest language. That's the beginning of it and then we get to play the games.
