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.

I want my pictures to cut through political abstractions... and make a connection on a human level.

When the truth is spoken, it doesn't need to be adorned. It just needs to be simply stated, and often it only needs to be said once.

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.

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.

If there is something occurring that is so bad that it could be considered a crime against humanity, it has to be transmitted with anguish, with pain, and create an impact in people - upset them, shake them up, wake them out of their everyday routine.
