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.

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

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.

I love New York, but am happy to be away from it. I really like small towns, with welcoming barbecue restaurants.

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

The greatest photographs are motivated by human feeling.
