As humans, we need to question all these notions. What does freedom mean for us? What are our responsibilities? It takes one-250th of a second to take a photograph. So I have the whole of the rest of that second - and of that day - to think.

It's certainly important to include text beside documentary photographs. Furthermore, it's important to include text in a way that's useful and accessible.
