My lens of choice was always the 35 mm. It was more environmental. You can't come in closer with the 35 mm.

When you go to take someone's picture, the first thing they say is, what you want me to do? Everyone is very awkward.

In this day and age of things moving so, so fast, we still long for things to stop, and we as a society love the still image. Every time there is some terrible or great moment, we remember the stills.

Coming tight was boring to me, just the face... it didn't have enough information.

When you are on assignment, film is the least expensive thing in a very practical sense. Your time, the person's time, turns out to be the most valuable thing.

I’d like to think that the actions we take today will allow others in the future to discover the wonders of landscapes we helped protect but never had the chance to enjoy ourselves.

If I didn't have my camera to remind me constantly, I am here to do this, I would eventually have slipped away, I think. I would have forgotten my reason to exist.
