More quotes by Garry Winogrand
When I look at photographs, I couldn't care less how.
Garry Winogrand
I have no idea what's going to happen. Who knows - if they can't afford to buy a boat, maybe they buy a print. Who knows what happens with their buck?
Garry Winogrand
In terms of content, you can make a problem for yourself, I mean, make the contest difficult, let's say, with certain subject matter that is inherently dramatic.
Garry Winogrand
Photography is not about the thing photographed. It is about how that thing looks photographed.
Garry Winogrand
Actually, the animal pictures came about in a funny way.
Garry Winogrand
What you photograph is responsible for how a photograph looks - the form, the design, whatever word you want to use.
Garry Winogrand
I don't think time is involved in how the thing is made.
Garry Winogrand
There's no way a photograph has to look... in a sense. There are no formal rules of design that can apply.
Garry Winogrand
You're talking about meaning. I want to talk about the picture.
Garry Winogrand
If you take a good look at the book [ Stock Photographs], it's largely a portrait gallery of faces - faces that I found dramatic. And some of those turned out to be reasonably dramatic photographs. But that's all it is, I think.
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
There is a transformation, you see, when you just put four edges around it. That changes it. A new world is created.
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
You just go through a certain kind of drudgery every time you have to look for something. I've got certain things grouped by now, but there's a drudgery in finding them. There's always stuff missing.
Garry Winogrand
People are just dumb. They misunderstand.
Garry Winogrand
I have no expectations. None at all.
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
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 photograph to find out what something will look like photographed.
Garry Winogrand
There is nothing as mysterious as a fact clearly described.
Garry Winogrand
