You've got a number of things that take place that are peculiar to still photography. One: how a picture looks - what you photograph is responsible for how a photograph looks. In other words, it's responsible for the form.

More quotes by Garry Winogrand
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.
Garry Winogrand
I don't go around looking at my pictures.
Garry Winogrand
Photographers mistake the emotion they feel while taking the photo as a judgment that the photograph is good
Garry Winogrand
The museums want large crowds coming to the shows - it's the same thing. It's hype. Absolutely. But there's nothing evil about it.
Garry Winogrand
I'm pretty fast with a camera when I have to be. However, I think it's irrelevant.
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
Teaching doesn't relate to photographing, at least not for me.
Garry Winogrand
I don't think of it as difficult. It would be difficult if I were carrying something heavy, but I carry Leicas. You can't talk about it that way. I'm not operating a shovel and getting tired.
Garry Winogrand
There are things I photograph because I'm interested in those things.
Garry Winogrand
You're talking about meaning. I want to talk about the picture.
Garry Winogrand
A photograph can look any way.
Garry Winogrand
At times people in the press were also useful to me.
Garry Winogrand
I'm still compulsively interested in women. It's funny, I've always compulsively photographed women. I still do.
Garry Winogrand
If you ever watch children play - what do you observe when you watch children play? You know, they're dead serious. They're not on vacation.
Garry Winogrand
What you photograph is responsible for how a photograph looks - the form, the design, whatever word you want to use.
Garry Winogrand
Photos have no narrative content. They only describe light on surface.
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
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
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
At times I'd much rather talk about other work.
Garry Winogrand
