More quotes by Garry Winogrand
A photograph can look any way.
Garry Winogrand
There is no special way a photograph should look.
Garry Winogrand
I'm pretty fast with a camera when I have to be. However, I think it's irrelevant.
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
Certainly, you know, you can always learn from some - from somebody else's - from some intelligence. I think. I hope.
Garry Winogrand
I don't care how they think of it. Some of these people are acquiring some very good pictures by a lot of different photographers.
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
You're talking about meaning. I want to talk about the picture.
Garry Winogrand
At times people in the press were also useful to me.
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
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
You've got to deal with how photographs look, what's there, not how they're made.
Garry Winogrand
There is nothing as mysterious as a fact clearly described.
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.
Garry Winogrand
Photography is not about the thing photographed. It is about how that thing looks photographed.
Garry Winogrand
It's the easiest thing in the world to do that, to make successful photographs. It's a bore.
Garry Winogrand
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.
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
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
The game, let's say, of trying to state photographic problems is, for me, absolutely fascinating.
