Most photographers seem to operate with a pane of glass between themselves and their subjects. They just can't get inside and know the subject.

I try to take what voice I have and I give it to those who don’t have one at all.

I was after a set of pictures, so that when people looked at them they would say, ‘This is war’-that the people who were in the war would believe that I had truthfully captured what they had gone through I worked in the framework that war is horrible. I want to carry on what I have tried to do in these pictures. War is a concentrated unit in the world and these things are clearly and cleanly seen. Things like race prejudice, poverty, hatred and bigotry are sprawling things in civilian life, and not so easy to define as war.

The purpose of all art is to cause a deep and emotion, also one that is entertaining or pleasing. Out of the depth and entertainment comes value.

Photography is a small voice, at best, but sometimes one photograph, or a group of them, can lure our sense of awareness.

Available light is any damn light that is available!

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