When you've lived through the golden age of photojournalism, there's no point in being nostalgic.

War isn't a TV show with plot twists to keep the viewers interested. The proliferation of images and blanket media coverage have suffocated the life out of old-style photojournalism.

I see myself as a recorder of history, sort of a visual historian.

I hate being away, but I understand that for me, that's where the work, the stories are.

The fact that I have a little ten-megapixel camera with me all the time, is way better than having the greatest camera in the world sitting at home on a desk instead of on my shoulder.

Shooting film is not for everybody, but if you're crazy enough it might be for you.

It's a given your family will be tired of being photographed, but don't give up. In another couple of decades, those are the pictures you will be glad to have.
