Garry Winogrand quotes about
interesting world photograph
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.
thinking interesting headache
When the woman is attractive, is it an interesting picture, or is it the woman? I had a lot of headaches with that, which was why it was interesting. I don't think I always got it straight.
trying photographer interest
There are photographers whose shows I try to make it my business to see, if I'm in the city. There are photographers I have no interest in at all.
teaching struggle interesting
Teaching is only interesting because you struggle with trying to talk about photographs, photographs that work, you see.
interesting beggar
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.
fun interesting enjoy
I enjoy photographing. It's always interesting, so I can't say one thing is more fun than another. Everything has it's own difficulties.
interesting energy responsible
It's got to do with the contention between content and form. Invariably that's what's responsible for its energies, its tensions, its being interesting or not.
photography interest
My only interest in photographing is photography.
different photograph interest
I photograph what interests me. I'm not saying anything different.
interesting trying photograph
I look at a photograph. What's going on? What's happening, photographically? If it's interesting, I try to understand why.
interesting kind problem
For me anyway when a photograph is interesting, it's interesting because of the kind of photographic problem it states - which has to do with the contest between content and form.
kind not-interested
I'm talking about technical goofs. I'm pretty much on top of it. The kind of picture you're referring to would have to be more about the effects of technical things, technical phenomena, and I'm just not interested in that kind of work at all.
interesting interest something-interesting
I've goofed, and there's been something interesting, but I haven't made use of it. It just doesn't interest me.
thinking interesting trying
I think there's some stuff that's at least photographically interesting. There are things I back off from trying to talk about.
