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.
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.
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.
photography art problem
The contest between form and content is what, is what art is about - it's art history. That's what basically everybody has ever contended with. The problem is uniquely complex in still photography.
photography photograph
If I photograph you I don't have you, I have a photograph of you. It's got its own thing. That's really what photography, still photography, is about.
photography photograph responsible
You've got a number of things that take place that are peculiar to still photography. One: how a picture looks - what you photograph is responsible for how a photograph looks. In other words, it's responsible for the form.
photography photograph reloading
There are no photographs while I'm reloading .
photography all-things
All things are photographable.
photography done enough
The only thing that's difficult is reloading when things are happening. Can you get it done fast enough?
photography people trying
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.
photography stills
The photo is a thing in itself. And that's what still photography is all about.
photography divorce interesting
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.
photography looks way
A photograph can look any way.
