I'll come back to New York. I think I'll start focusing in more on the entertainment business. I have been doing some of that already, all kinds of monkey business. But I'm all over the place, literally.

It's the easiest thing in the world to do that, to make successful photographs. It's a bore.
Garry Winogrand
Cameras always were seductive. And then a darkroom became available, and that's when I stopped doing anything 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
I'm still compulsively interested in women. It's funny, I've always compulsively photographed women. I still do.
Garry Winogrand
There's no way a photograph has to look... in a sense. There are no formal rules of design that can apply.
Garry Winogrand
No one moment is most important. Any moment can be something.
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
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
I'm trying to learn more and more about what's possible.
Garry Winogrand
I'm surviving. I'm a survivor.
Garry Winogrand
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
If I photograph you I don't have you, I have a photograph of you. It's got its own thing. That's really what photography, still photography, is about.
Garry Winogrand
You use the vertical edge as the point of reference, instead of the horizontal edge. I have a picture of a beggar, where there's an arm coming into the frame from the side. And the arm is parallel to the horizontal edge and it makes it work. It's all games, you know. But it keeps it interesting to do, to play.
Garry Winogrand
It was interesting it's an interesting photographic problem [those demonstrations in the late Sixties]. But if I was doing it as a job, I think I'd have to get paid extra.
Garry Winogrand
Photos have no narrative content. They only describe light on surface.
Garry Winogrand
I may very well move in. I just don't know. I can't sit here and know what pictures I'm going to take.
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.
Garry Winogrand
Los Angeles has interested me for a long time. I was in Texas for five years, for the same reason. I wanted to photograph there.
Garry Winogrand
The photo is a thing in itself. And that's what still photography is all about.
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.
