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

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.

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