Passion is in all great searches and is necessary to all creative endeavors.

The first word I would remove from the folklore of journalism is the word objective.

I didn’t write the rules. Why would I follow them?

... to became neighbours and friends instead of journalists. This is the way to make your finest photographs.

My pictures are complex and so am I. When I am almost symbolistic in writing, there is a more limiting difference’s of accepting, while I can be even more complex in the photographs and people can usually accept them within the framework of their own limitations or lack of limitations – there is no dictionary meaning… they can look up for the photographic image and allow it to confuse them.

I am an idealist. I often feel I would like to be an artist in an ivory tower. Yet it is imperative that I speak to people, so I must desert that ivory tower. To do this, I am a journalist - a photojournalist. But I am always torn between the attitude of the journalist, who is a recorder of facts, and the artist, who is often necessarily at odds with the facts. My principle concern is for honesty, above all honesty with myself.

My photographs at best hold only a small length, but through them I would suggest and criticize and illuminate and try to give compassionate understanding.
