Unfortunately, the world continues, history continues to produce tragedies. And it is very important that they be documented in a humane way, in a compelling way.

I dont think tragic situations are necessarily devoid of beauty.

I have been a witness, and these pictures are my testimony. The events I have recorded should not be forgotten and must not be repeated.

None of the editors I've worked with have ever asked me to pull my punches. They've never asked me to give them anything other than my own interpretation of events.

Photojournalists know the horrors of war can only be exposed at close range. Kodak Film.

There is a job to be doneto record the truth. I want to wake people up!

I try to use whatever I know about photography to be of service to the people I'm photographing.
