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

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

In GENESIS, my camera allowed nature to speak to me. And it was my privilege to listen.

I'm not a religious person. The language of photography is symbolic.

I have tried to bring about better communication between people. I believe that humanitarian photography is like economics. Economy is a kind of sociology, as is documentary photography.

I can be an artist a posteriori, not a priori. If my pictures tell the story, our story, human story, then in a hundred years, then they can be considered an art reference, but now they are not made as art. I'm a journalist. My life's on the road, my studio is the planet.

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.
