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.
Garry Winogrand
Image
There are things I photograph because I'm interested in those things.
Garry Winogrand
Image
There's no way a photograph has to look... in a sense. There are no formal rules of design that can apply.
Garry Winogrand
Image
A photograph can look any way.

Image
People are just dumb. They misunderstand.
Garry Winogrand
Image
I sometimes think I'm a mechanic. I just take pictures.
Garry Winogrand
Image
Frame in terms of what you want to have in the picture, not about making a nice picture, that anybody can do.
Garry Winogrand
Image
At times people in the press were also useful to me.
Garry Winogrand

I don't care how they think of it. Some of these people are acquiring some very good pictures by a lot of different photographers.

Surviving, that's all. That's all I have in mind .
