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.

More quotes by Garry Winogrand
I have no expectations. None at all.
Garry Winogrand
The museums want large crowds coming to the shows - it's the same thing. It's hype. Absolutely. But there's nothing evil about it.
Garry Winogrand
No one moment is most important. Any moment can be something.
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
A photograph can look any way.
Garry Winogrand
Surviving, that's all. That's all I have in mind .
Garry Winogrand
What you photograph is responsible for how a photograph looks - the form, the design, whatever word you want to use.
Garry Winogrand
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.
Garry Winogrand
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.
Garry Winogrand
The game, let's say, of trying to state photographic problems is, for me, absolutely fascinating.
Garry Winogrand
Teaching is only interesting because you struggle with trying to talk about photographs, photographs that work, you see.
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
Photography is not about the thing photographed. It is about how that thing looks photographed.
Garry Winogrand
I'm trying to learn more and more about what's possible.
Garry Winogrand
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.
Garry Winogrand
A pun calls the meaning of a word into question, and it upsets us tremendously. We laugh because suddenly we find out we're not going to get killed. I think a lot of things work that way with photographs.
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 don't think time is involved in how the thing is made.
Garry Winogrand
I have no idea what's going to happen. Who knows - if they can't afford to buy a boat, maybe they buy a print. Who knows what happens with their buck?
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
