Garry Winogrand quotes about
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.
fun life-is-too-short photographer
I certainly never wanted to be a photographer to bore myself. It's no fun - life is too short.
mistake emotion photographer
Sometimes photographers mistake emotion for what makes a great street photograph.
photography saws photographer
If I saw something in my viewfinder that looked familiar to me, I would do something to shake it up.
photographer
I'm a photographer, a still photographer. That's it.
clearly
There is nothing as mysterious as a fact clearly described. I photograph to see what something will look like photographed.
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.
people dumb
People are just dumb. They misunderstand.
thinking irrelevant
I'm pretty fast with a camera when I have to be. However, I think it's irrelevant.
care photograph
When I look at photographs, I couldn't care less "how."
mean long public-relations
I have boxes of pictures that nothing is ever going to happen to. Even Public Relations. I mean, I was going to events long before, and I still am.
book thinking dramatic
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.
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.
