Just think how minimal somebody's family album is. But you start looking at one of them, and the word everybody will use is charming. Something just happened. It's automatic, just operating a camera intelligently.

No one moment is most important. Any moment can be something.

Los Angeles has interested me for a long time. I was in Texas for five years, for the same reason. I wanted to photograph there.

I'm talking about technical goofs. I'm pretty much on top of it. The kind of picture you're referring to would have to be more about the effects of technical things, technical phenomena, and I'm just not interested in that kind of work at all.

I don't have anything to say in any picture.

Image
I get totally out of myself. It's the closest I come to not existing, I think, which is the best - which is to me attractive.

[Me book is] called Stock Photographs. It was done at the Fort Worth livestock show and rodeo. I was commissioned to shoot there by the Fort Worth Art Museum for a show. I probably shot a total of fourteen days, give or take.

In terms of content, you can make a problem for yourself, I mean, make the contest difficult, let's say, with certain subject matter that is inherently dramatic.

Image
I sometimes think I'm a mechanic. I just take pictures.
Garry Winogrand
Image
I don't really have any faith in anybody enjoying photographs in a large enough sense to matter. I think it's all about finances, on one side.

Image
I'm surviving. I'm a survivor.

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.

I'm still compulsively interested in women. It's funny, I've always compulsively photographed women. I still do.

The primary problem is to learn to be your own toughest critic. You have to pay attention to intelligent work, and to work at the same time. You see. I mean, you’ve got to bounce off better work. It’s matter of working.

I develop my own film. And I work in spurts. I pile it up.

There is nothing as mysterious as a fact clearly described.
