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.

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.

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

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.

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.
