Why is everyone hating on this woman so much? What's so bad about her? Remember she's asking questions on behalf of an audience who may not have a photography background... I like how she asked him to be specific on certain things, like the question about the difference he sees between himself and Walker Evans. I also appreciate the fact that she asked him to address young photographers. Very interesting interview. She got him really talking about stuff. Wish I knew the guy.
Two very different people obviously. But also I think they swing quite well here. She asks stuff people wouldn’t normally ask him because they are either too on the nose, to cliché or not something most people would dare. And he gives some kind, interesting answers in his inimitable style. Toning it a bit down to accommodate the lady and viewers.
The human eye sees in generalities. The camera sees in tiny fractions of time. When you see a situation that might have some promising frozen moments that your eye can't see you start photographing real fast. It is only when you see the contact sheets that you know whether or not you got something interesting or not.
If ever there was a man who needed to photograph in order to live it was Garry Winogrand. This interview is a battle of wills and I love the way Winogrand squirms in his seat as he tries to avoid answering questions or dismisses others with a gruff laugh and a repeated "I can't talk about that" much to the frustration of Ms Diamonstein. The man is very much like his images - instinctive, direct, unconventional and deeply serious about the most ordinary facts of life.
Very confident yet very modest in the same breath. Truly a master. If he proves anything, it's that to make a successful picture, it takes 10% inspiration and 90% perspiration. Although, Winogrand would prob disagree with that statement. I think he put himself where he needed to be to get a good picture. That's the 90% perspiration. Truly a Master.
Everyone wants to know a deeper meaning behind what he does, his intentions, his inspiration etc. They're digging too deep. He just wants to photograph. It's how he interacts with his world. He's just a working class guy who happens to use a camera instead of a trowel. When asked why he does it he's taken aback because the answer is : what the hell else is he supposed to do?

A guy that doesn't take himself too seriously. Very refreshing.

I don't like to think of myself as an artist. May be i am but i don't think about it. Garry Winogrand

THE WAY WINOGRAND SPEAKING of the interview is like rock roll star.direct, truth, irritating.
