Frame in terms of what you wan...

Frame in terms of what you want to have in the picture, not about making a nice picture, that anybody can do.

Garry Winogrand 43 quotes

In the end, maybe the correct ...

In the end, maybe the correct language would be how the fact of putting four edges around a collection of information or facts transforms it. A photograph is not what was photographed, it's something else.

Garry Winogrand 43 quotes

I don't know if all the women ...

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 43 quotes

You see something happening an...

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 43 quotes

If you didn’t take the pictu...

If you didn’t take the picture, you weren’t there.

Garry Winogrand 43 quotes

Well, I'm not going to get int...

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 43 quotes

No one moment is most important. Any moment can be something.

The world isn't tidy; it's a mess. I don't try to make it neat.

Garry Winogrand 43 quotes

You've got to deal with how ph...

You've got to deal with how photographs look, what's there, not how they're made.

Garry Winogrand 43 quotes

I don't have anything to say i...

I don't have anything to say in any picture. But you do, from your experience, surmise something. You do give a photograph symbolic content, narrative content... But it's nothing to worry about!

Garry Winogrand 43 quotes

When I’m photographing I see...

When I’m photographing I see life.

Garry Winogrand 43 quotes

I photograph to find out what ...

I photograph to find out what something will look like photographed,

Garry Winogrand 43 quotes

Sometimes I feel like . . . th...

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 43 quotes

There is no special way a photograph should look.

Garry Winogrand 43 quotes

Photos have no narrative content. They only describe light on surface.

Garry Winogrand 43 quotes

Sometimes photographers mistak...

Sometimes photographers mistake emotion for what makes a great street photograph.

Garry Winogrand 43 quotes

There are things I back off from trying to talk about, you know. Particularly my own work. Also, there may be things better left unsaid. At times I'd much rather talk about other (people's) work.

Garry Winogrand 43 quotes

The only thing that's difficul...

The only thing that's difficult is reloading when things are happening. Can you get it done fast enough?

Garry Winogrand 43 quotes

I really try to divorce myself...

I really try to divorce myself from any thought of possible use of this stuff. That's part of the discipline. My only purpose while I'm working is to try to make interesting photographs, and what to do with them is another act - an alter consideration. Certainly while I'm working, I want them to be as useless as possible.

Garry Winogrand 43 quotes

I get totally out of myself. I...

I get totally out of myself. It's the closest I come to not existing, I think, which is the best - which is to me attractive.
