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

I used to call myself a war photographer. Now I consider myself as an antiwar photographer.

Photography can be perceived as the opposite of war.

You are never freer than in that moment when you decide to expose yourself to sniper fire.

If you make an honest picture of war, it will be an antiwar photograph.

For me, the strength of photography lies in its ability to evoke humanity. If war is an attempt to negate humanity, then photography can be perceived as the opposite of war.

The worst thing is to feel that as a photographer I am benefiting from someone else's tragedy. This idea haunts me. It's something I have to reckon with every day because I know that if I ever allow genuine compassion to be overtaken by personal ambition, I will have sold my soul. The only way I can justify my role is to have respect for the other person's predicament. The extent to which I do that is the extent to which I become accepted by the other; and to that extent, I can accept myself.
