The [concentration camps] were swarming with photographers and every new picture of horror served only to diminish the total effect. Now, for a short day, everyone will see what happened to those poor devils in those camps; tomorrow, very few will care what happens to them in the future.

I hope to stay unemployed as a war photographer till the end of my life.

The desire of any war photographer is to be put out of business.

For a war correspondent to miss an invasion is like refusing a date with Lana Turner.

You don't have to pose your camera. The pictures are there, and you just take them. The truth is the best picture, the best propaganda. (On the Spanish Civil War, 1937)

What's the point of getting killed if you've got the wrong exposure?

The war photographer's most fervent wish is for unemployment
