Photography is full of symbolism, it's a symbolic language. You have to be able to materialize all your thoughts in one single image.

In the end, the only heritage we have is our planet, and I have decided to go to the most pristine places on the planet and photograph them in the most honest way I know, with my point of view, and of course it is in black and white, because it is the only thing I know how to do.

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.

I'm not an artist. An artist makes an object. Me, it's not an object, I work in history, I'm a storyteller.

I have been photographing the portrait of an end of an era, as machines and computers replace human workers. What we have in these pictures is an archeology.

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.
