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.

Image
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.

Image
At times I'd much rather talk about other work.
Garry Winogrand
Image
I'm trying to learn more and more about what's possible.

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

Image
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.
Garry Winogrand
Image
Certainly, you know, you can always learn from some - from somebody else's - from some intelligence. I think. I hope.
Garry Winogrand
Image
You just go through a certain kind of drudgery every time you have to look for something. I've got certain things grouped by now, but there's a drudgery in finding them. There's always stuff missing.

Image
Aside from women, I don't know. My work doesn't function the way Robert Frank's did.
Garry Winogrand
Image
I may very well move in. I just don't know. I can't sit here and know what pictures I'm going to take.
Garry Winogrand
Image
I'm pretty fast with a camera when I have to be. However, I think it's irrelevant.
Garry Winogrand
Image
I have no expectations. None at all.

Image
Teaching doesn't relate to photographing, at least not for me.
Garry Winogrand
Image
Teaching is only interesting because you struggle with trying to talk about photographs, photographs that work, you see.

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