Image
I'm pretty fast with a camera when I have to be. However, I think it's irrelevant.
Garry Winogrand
Image
As far as my end of it, photographing, goes, all I'm interested in is pictures, frankly. I went to events, and it would have been very easy to just illustrate that idea about the relationships between the press and the event, you know.
Garry Winogrand
Image
I have no expectations. None at all.

Nobody sold prints then and prices didn't mean anything. In terms of earning your living, it was a joke.

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.

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.

Cameras always were seductive. And then a darkroom became available, and that's when I stopped doing anything else.

Image
Surviving, that's all. That's all I have in mind .
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
I'll come back to New York. I think I'll start focusing in more on the entertainment business. I have been doing some of that already, all kinds of monkey business. But I'm all over the place, literally.
Garry Winogrand
Image
The photo is a thing in itself. And that's what still photography is all about.

Image
You're talking about meaning. I want to talk about the picture.
Garry Winogrand
Image
A pun calls the meaning of a word into question, and it upsets us tremendously. We laugh because suddenly we find out we're not going to get killed. I think a lot of things work that way with photographs.

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.
