Thinking Quotes by Garry Winogrand

[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.

A pun calls the meaning of a word into question, and it upsets us tremendously. We laugh because suddenly we find out we’re not going to get killed. I think a lot of things work that way with photographs.

Certainly, you know, you can always learn from some – from somebody else’s – from some intelligence. I think. I hope.

I don’t think anything happens without the press, one way or the other. I think it’s all done for it. You saw it start, really, with Martin Luther King in Birmingham. He did the bus thing. And I don’t think anything that followed would have happened if the press hadn’t paid attention.

I like to think of photographing as a two-way act of respect. Respect for the medium, by letting it do what it does best, describe. And respect for the subject, by describing it as it is. A photograph must be responsible to both.

I sometimes think I’m a mechanic. I just take pictures.

I think that there isn’t a photograph in the world that has any narrative ability… They do not tell stories – they show you what something looks like. To a camera.

I’ll come back to New York. I think I’ll start focusing in more on the entertainment business. I have been doing some of that already, all kinds of monkey business. But I’m all over the place, literally.

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.

It was interesting; it’s an interesting photographic problem [those demonstrations in the late Sixties]. But if I was doing it as a job, I think I’d have to get paid extra.
