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.

You don't solve anything ever, really. You simply state a problem which, when you're lucky, gives you some idea of what possible problems you can - it indicates, you know, your future headaches.

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.

The primary problem is to learn to be your own toughest critic. You have to pay attention to intelligent work, and to work at the same time. You see. I mean, you’ve got to bounce off better work. It’s matter of working.

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.

I was a hired gun, more or less.

I'm trying to learn more and more about what's possible.
Garry Winogrand
Certainly, you know, you can always learn from some - from somebody else's - from some intelligence. I think. I hope.
Garry Winogrand
You've got to deal with how photographs look, what's there, not how they're made.
Garry Winogrand
At times people in the press were also useful to me.
Garry Winogrand
The game, let's say, of trying to state photographic problems is, for me, absolutely fascinating.
Garry Winogrand
I don't have anything to say in any picture.
Garry Winogrand
There are people who are socially ambitious. If you go back aways, the Sculls, for instance, had a lot of money and they were socially ambitious. If you get an old master, it's not going to do you any good socially.
Garry Winogrand
I don't go around looking at my pictures.
Garry Winogrand
Most photographs are of life, what goes on in the world. And that's boring, generally. Life is banal, you know. Let's say that an artist deals with banality. I don't care what the discipline is.

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