I'm talking about technical goofs. I'm pretty much on top of it. The kind of picture you're referring to would have to be more about the effects of technical things, technical phenomena, and I'm just not interested in that kind of work at all.

There's an arbitrary idea that the horizontal edge in a frame has to be the point of reference.

I don't have anything to say in any picture.

The game, let's say, of trying to state photographic problems is, for me, absolutely fascinating.

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.

If you ever watch children play - what do you observe when you watch children play? You know, they're dead serious. They're not on vacation.

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 sometimes think I'm a mechanic. I just take pictures.
Garry Winogrand
Image
I like to think of photographing as a two-way act of respect. Respect for the medium, by letting it do what it does best, describe. And respect for the subject, by describing it as it is. A photograph must be responsible to both.

Teaching doesn't relate to photographing, at least not for me.
Garry Winogrand
Image
It's the easiest thing in the world to do that, to make successful photographs. It's a bore.

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.
