More quotes by 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 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
I was able to work with two heads. If anything, doing ads and other commercial work were at least exercises in discipline.
Garry Winogrand
I'm surviving. I'm a survivor.
Garry Winogrand
I don't think time is involved in how the thing is made.
Garry Winogrand
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.
Garry Winogrand
Well, I'm not going to get into that. I think that those kind of distinctions and lists of titles like street photographer are so stupid. I'm a photographer, a still photographer. That's it.
Garry Winogrand
It was interesting it's an interesting photographic problem [those demonstrations in the late Sixties]. But if I was doing it as a job, I think I'd have to get paid extra.
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
I certainly never wanted to be a photographer to bore myself. It's no fun - life is too short.
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
My intention is to make interesting photographs. That's it, in the end. I don't make it up. Let's say it's a world I never made. That's what was there to deal with.
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
What you photograph is responsible for how a photograph looks - the form, the design, whatever word you want to use.
Garry Winogrand
You've got to deal with how photographs look, what's there, not how they're made.
Garry Winogrand
At times I'd much rather talk about other work.
Garry Winogrand
I don't go around looking at my pictures.
Garry Winogrand
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.
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.
