It's very easy to make successful photographs - it's very easy.
Garry Winogrand
[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.

I have a good friend who's a very good printer. And he does a certain amount of printing for me. I do all the developing. If somebody's going to goof my film, I'd better do it. I don't want to get that mad at anybody else.

Actually, the animal pictures came about in a funny way.

You use the vertical edge as the point of reference, instead of the horizontal edge. I have a picture of a beggar, where there's an arm coming into the frame from the side. And the arm is parallel to the horizontal edge and it makes it work. It's all games, you know. But it keeps it interesting to do, to play.

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.
Garry Winogrand
I enjoy photographing. It's always interesting, so I can't say one thing is more fun than another. Everything has it's own difficulties.
Garry Winogrand
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.
Garry Winogrand
I'm trying to learn more and more about what's possible.
Garry Winogrand
A photograph can look any way.
Garry Winogrand
I don't know if all the women in the photographs are beautiful, but I do know that the women are beautiful in the photographs.
Garry Winogrand
It's the easiest thing in the world to do that, to make successful photographs. It's a bore.
Garry Winogrand
Photos have no narrative content. They only describe light on surface.
Garry Winogrand
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.
Garry Winogrand
Aside from the fact of just taking things out of context, I don't know why. That's part of a mystery. In a way, a transformation is a mystery to me. But there is a transformation, and that's fascinating.
Garry Winogrand
I was a hired gun, more or less.
