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

I don't believe there's any such thing as objective reality. It's only reality as we experience it.

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.

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

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.

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

Do we really need another picture of Paris Hilton or Naomi Campbell?
