Garry Winogrand quotes about
photography
I don't know how to say easily what I learned. One thing I can say I learned is how amazing photography could be.
care photograph
When I look at photographs, I couldn't care less "how."
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.
photograph
There are things I photograph because I'm interested in those things.
successful world photograph
It's the easiest thing in the world to do that, to make successful photographs. It's a bore.
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.
photography thinking moved
[Photography is ] likewise even French impressionists. So the Sculls bought pop. It was politics, and they moved with it. And I think that could be happening, to some degree, with photography, too. It doesn't cost as much to do it, either.
photography interest
My only interest in photographing is photography.
transformation photograph
I said the photograph isn't what was photographed, it's something else. It's about transformation. And that's what it is.
different photograph interest
I photograph what interests me. I'm not saying anything different.
different kind photograph
I never saw a pyramid, but I've seen photographs; I know what a pyramid or a sphinx looks like. There are pictures that do that, but they satisfy a different kind of interest.
photography thinking worry
There are people who like photography; there are people who are worrying about what's going to happen with the dollar. They want to get anything that seems hard. I don't know, but I think it's got to do with economics. Now and then you get somebody who buys a picture because he likes it.
teaching kind photograph
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.
imagine photograph discussion
Every photograph could be set up. If one could imagine it, one could set it up. The whole discussion is a way of not talking about photographs.
