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.
Garry Winogrand
Certainly, you know, you can always learn from some - from somebody else's - from some intelligence. I think. I hope.

The museums want large crowds coming to the shows - it's the same thing. It's hype. Absolutely. But there's nothing evil about it.
Garry Winogrand
I don't think of it as difficult. It would be difficult if I were carrying something heavy, but I carry Leicas. You can't talk about it that way. I'm not operating a shovel and getting tired.
Garry Winogrand
Teaching doesn't relate to photographing, at least not for me.
Garry Winogrand
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

Garry Winogrand

Garry Winogrand
I'm surviving. I'm a survivor.
Garry Winogrand
There is nothing as mysterious as a fact clearly described.
Garry Winogrand
I was a hired gun, more or less.
Garry Winogrand
Photographers mistake the emotion they feel while taking the photo as a judgment that the photograph is good
Garry Winogrand
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
You're talking about meaning. I want to talk about the picture.
Garry Winogrand
There are no photographs while I'm reloading .
Garry Winogrand
There is no special way a photograph should look.
