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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

The greatest photographs are motivated by human feeling.
