The definition of a great picture is one that stays with you, one that you can't forget. It doesn't have to be technically good at all.

In our contemporary society, one so over-inundated with imagery, it is easy to overlook the power of a single frame to change the way we look at the world, or rally disparate hearts to a single cause. Yet, ours is a society shaped by this very phenomenon.

My life is shaped by the urgent need to wander and observe, and my camera is my passport.

If you wait, people will forget your camera, and the soul will drift up into view.

What is important to my work is the individual picture. I photograph stories on assignment, and of course they have to be put together coherently. But what matters most is that each picture stands on its own, with its own place and feeling.

A picture can express a universal humanism, or simply reveal a delicate and poignant truth by exposing a slice of life that might otherwise pass unnoticed.

Unconsciously, I think I watch for a look, an expression, features or nostalgia that can summarize or more accurately reveal life.
