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.

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.

At times people in the press were also useful to me.
Garry Winogrand
Image
Sometimes I feel like . . . the world is a place I bought a ticket to. It’s a big show for me, as if it wouldn’t happen if I wasn’t there with a camera.
Garry Winogrand
Image
You're talking about meaning. I want to talk about the picture.
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 develop my own film. And I work in spurts. I pile it up.
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.

The photo is a thing in itself. And that's what still photography is all about.
