We live in a society where we never prepare people to be a community.

We are one human race, and there must be understanding among all men. For those who look at the problems of today, my big hope is that they understand. That they understand that the population is quite big enough, that they must be informed that they must have economic development, that they must have social development, and must be integrated into all parts of the world.

My way of photographing is my way of life. I photograph from my experience, my way of seeing things.

Of course I will continue photography. I love photography. But when you become old, it's too much.

What I want is to create a discussion about what is happening around the world and to provoke some debate with these pictures. Nothing more than this.

As in any person's life, there have been difficult moments: I have a son with Down's syndrome; through my photography, I have witnessed all manner of human degradation. But there have also been very happy moments.

It's not the photographer who makes the picture, but the person being photographed.
