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

The satisfaction comes from working next to 500 photographers and coming away with something different.

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

Do not settle for easy. Do not settle for that first image. Craft it, work it, and make something more out of it. And finally, don't forget that the biggest joy in photography is making pictures of those things in your own life.

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.

The loss of letters in today's world is one of the great losses we are experiencing, though we shan't know the full extent of it for another twenty or thirty years when we'll wish we had those letters never written.

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