There are things I photograph because I'm interested in those things.
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
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.
Garry Winogrand
I sometimes think I'm a mechanic. I just take pictures.
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

Garry Winogrand
Nobody sold prints then and prices didn't mean anything. In terms of earning your living, it was a joke.
Garry Winogrand
You're talking about meaning. I want to talk about the picture.
