[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 was a hired gun, more or less.
Garry Winogrand
Frame in terms of what you want to have in the picture, not about making a nice picture, that anybody can do.
Garry Winogrand
Cameras always were seductive. And then a darkroom became available, and that's when I stopped doing anything else.
Garry Winogrand
There is no special way a photograph should look.
Garry Winogrand
I sometimes think I'm a mechanic. I just take pictures.
Garry Winogrand
Certainly, you know, you can always learn from some - from somebody else's - from some intelligence. I think. I hope.
Garry Winogrand
Teaching doesn't relate to photographing, at least not for me.
Garry Winogrand
You see something happening and you bang away at it. Either you get what you saw or you get something else--and whichever is better you print.

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.

Photography is not about the thing photographed. It is about how that thing looks photographed.
Garry Winogrand
I know what I like to use myself. I use Leicas, but when I look at the photograph, I don't ask the photograph questions. Mine or anybody else's. The only time I've ever dealt with that kind of thing is when I'm teaching.
Garry Winogrand
You've got a number of things that take place that are peculiar to still photography. One: how a picture looks - what you photograph is responsible for how a photograph looks. In other words, it's responsible for the form.
Garry Winogrand
I'm still compulsively interested in women. It's funny, I've always compulsively photographed women. I still do.
Garry Winogrand
I have a good friend who's a very good printer. And he does a certain amount of printing for me. I do all the developing. If somebody's going to goof my film, I'd better do it. I don't want to get that mad at anybody else.
Garry Winogrand
You just go through a certain kind of drudgery every time you have to look for something. I've got certain things grouped by now, but there's a drudgery in finding them. There's always stuff missing.
Garry Winogrand
What you photograph is responsible for how a photograph looks - the form, the design, whatever word you want to use.
Garry Winogrand
If you take a good look at the book [ Stock Photographs], it's largely a portrait gallery of faces - faces that I found dramatic. And some of those turned out to be reasonably dramatic photographs. But that's all it is, I think.
Garry Winogrand
A photograph can look any way.
Garry Winogrand
I have no expectations. None at all.
Garry Winogrand
Well, in terms of what a camera does. Again, you go back to that original idea that what you photograph is responsible for how it [the photograph] looks. And it's not plastic, in a way. The problem is unique in photographic terms.
