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.

Photos have no narrative content. They only describe light on surface.

If you ever watch children play - what do you observe when you watch children play? You know, they're dead serious. They're not on vacation.

As far as my end of it, photographing, goes, all I'm interested in is pictures, frankly. I went to events, and it would have been very easy to just illustrate that idea about the relationships between the press and the event, you know.

Image
When I'm photographing, I don't have that kind of nonsense running around in my head. I'm photographing. It's irrelevant in the end, so it doesn't mean a thing. It's not going to make me do better work or worse work as I can see it now.
Garry Winogrand
Image
The game, let's say, of trying to state photographic problems is, for me, absolutely fascinating.
Garry Winogrand
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.
Garry Winogrand
Image
I'm surviving. I'm a survivor.
Garry Winogrand
Image
Let's put it this way - I photograph what interests me all the time. I live with the pictures to see what that thing looks like photographed. I'm saying the same thing I'm not changing it.

Image
You're talking about meaning. I want to talk about the picture.
