Image
I photograph what interests me. I'm not saying anything different.

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.

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
Well, I'm not going to get into that. I think that those kind of distinctions and lists of titles like street photographer are so stupid. I'm a photographer, a still photographer. That's it.
Garry Winogrand
Image
I think that there isn't a photograph in the world that has any narrative ability... They do not tell stories - they show you what something looks like. To a camera.

Photography is not about the thing photographed. It is about how that thing looks photographed.

If I ever hear Power to the people again, I'llà I just found out that John Lennon wrote that song, All we are saying is give peace a chance. I couldn't believe it. I thought it was terrible I hated that song. They used to bring out the Pete Seeger wind-up toy to sing it. Tiresome.
