Image
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.

It's a lot of work organizing something, whether it's a show or a book, and I don't want to do it every day.
Garry Winogrand
Image
There is a transformation, you see, when you just put four edges around it. That changes it. A new world is created.

Image
I was a hired gun, more or less.
Garry Winogrand
Image
Nobody sold prints then and prices didn't mean anything. In terms of earning your living, it was a joke.
Garry Winogrand
Image
Teaching doesn't relate to photographing, at least not for me.
Garry Winogrand
Image
The game, let's say, of trying to state photographic problems is, for me, absolutely fascinating.
Garry Winogrand
Image
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
Image
A photograph can look any way.
Garry Winogrand

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