I have no idea what's going to happen. Who knows - if they can't afford to buy a boat, maybe they buy a print. Who knows what happens with their buck?

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

If you take a good look at the book [ Stock Photographs], it's largely a portrait gallery of faces - faces that I found dramatic. And some of those turned out to be reasonably dramatic photographs. But that's all it is, I think.

Image
Nobody sold prints then and prices didn't mean anything. In terms of earning your living, it was a joke.
Garry Winogrand
Image
I photograph what interests me. I'm not saying anything different.

At times people in the press were also useful to me.

Tod or Hank Wessel, Bill Dane, Paul McConough, Steve Shore. Robert Adams, for sure. I'm ready to see what they do.There's a lot of people working reasonably intelligently.

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.

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.

When I was a kid in New York I used to go to the zoo. I always liked the zoo. I grew up within walking distance of the Bronx Zoo. And then when my first two children were young, I used to take them to the zoo. Zoos are always interesting. And I make pictures.

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.

Image
What if I said that every photograph I made was set up? From the photograph, you can't prove otherwise. You don't know anything from the photograph about how it was made, really.
Garry Winogrand
Image
You're talking about meaning. I want to talk about the picture.
Garry Winogrand
Image
There are photographers whose shows I try to make it my business to see, if I'm in the city. There are photographers I have no interest in at all.
Garry Winogrand
Image
I don't go around looking at my pictures.

Image
You've got to deal with how photographs look, what's there, not how they're made.
Garry Winogrand
Image
It's very easy to make successful photographs - it's very easy.

Frame in terms of what you want to have in the picture, not about making a nice picture, that anybody can do.

I certainly never wanted to be a photographer to bore myself. It's no fun - life is too short.

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

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