Garry Winogrand quotes about
evil
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.
I don't know if I'm really the fastest. It doesn't matter.
tired thinking difficult
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.
people
At times people in the press were also useful to me.
book
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.
interesting trying photograph
I look at a photograph. What's going on? What's happening, photographically? If it's interesting, I try to understand why.
expectations
I have no expectations. None at all.
running mean kind
When I'm photographing, I don't have that kind of nonsense running around in my head. I'm photographing. It's irrelevant in the end, so it doesn't mean a thing. It's not going to make me do better work or worse work as I can see it now.
mind surviving
Surviving, that's all. That's all I have in mind .
survivor surviving
I'm surviving. I'm a survivor.
I felt that from my end, I should deal with the thing itself, which is the event. I pretty much functioned like the media itself.
animal
Actually, the animal pictures came about in a funny way.
children distance kids
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.
Everybody's entitled to their own experience.
