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.
successful world photograph
It's the easiest thing in the world to do that, to make successful photographs. It's a bore.
artist discipline world
Most photographs are of life, what goes on in the world. And that's boring, generally. Life is banal, you know. Let's say that an artist deals with banality. I don't care what the discipline is.
world language existence
Language is basic to all of our existences in this world. We depend on it.
world transformation
There is a transformation, you see, when you just put four edges around it. That changes it. A new world is created.
trying world neat
The world isn't tidy; it's a mess. I don't try to make it neat.
photography looks world
I photograph to see what the world looks like in photographs.
world tickets cameras
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.
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.
