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

I want to record history through the destiny of individuals who often belong to the least wealthy classes. I do not want to show war in general, nor history with a capital H, but rather the tragedy of a single man, of a family.

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

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.

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

I became a photographer in order to be a war photographer, and a photographer involved in what I thought were critical social issues. From the very beginning this was my goal.

If I can upset people, if I can ruin their day, then I have done my job.
