It's always good to find things that you haven't found before.

There are many images which I miss on purpose. I've done too many of them before and photographing them again doesn't change the world, or me.

My only agenda is to bring attention to otherwise ignored and shunned lives.

I use my intuition. I tell my students: use your brains, but also use another part of yourself.

Before I even took pictures I knew that I wanted to have them as hard copy memories.

The photograph is kind of a proof - a proof that I actually met these people, that they actually have lives, and that they're worth considering.

Every single immigrant is part of a larger history that needs to be communicated in all its ambivalences and complexities.
