An artist must be ruthlessly selfish.

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

I would that my photographs might be, not the coverage of a news event, but an indictment of war - the brutal corrupting viciousness of its doing to the minds and bodies of men; and, that my photographs might be a powerful emotional catalyst to the reasoning which would help this vile and criminal stupidity from beginning again.

I've never made any picture, good or bad, without paying for it in emotional turmoil.

With considerable soul searching, that to the utmost of my ability, I have let truth be the prejudice.

What use having a great depth of field, if there is not an adequate depth of feeling?

The world just does not fit conveniently into the format of a 35mm camera.
