I have been born again and again and each time, I have found something to love.

I suffered first as a child from discrimination, poverty ... So I think it was a natural follow from that that I should use my camera to speak for people who are unable to speak for themselves.

I bought my first camera in Seattle, Washington. Only paid about seven dollars and fifty cents for it.

The photographer begins to feel big and bloated and so big he can't walk through one of these doors because he gets a good byline; he gets notices all over the world and so forth; but they're really - the important people are the people he photographs.

I've been with Life now for seventeen years and I have written several articles for them and will be doing more writing and do at least two assignments a year besides my writing.

I picked up a camera because it was my choice of weapons against what I hated most about the universe: racism, intolerance, poverty.

Think in terms of images and words. They can be mighty powerful when they are fitted together properly.
