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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

I began after college, about 1972. I began to teach myself photography. I went to work for a local newspaper for four years as a kind of basic training.
