An artist must be ruthlessly selfish.

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

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 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.

Never have I found the limits of the photographic potential. Every horizon, upon being reached, reveals another beckoning in the distance. Always, I am on the threshold.

What's the best type of light? Why that would be available light... and by available light I mean any damn light is available.

Many claim I am a photographer of tragedy. In the greater sense I am not, for though I often photograph where the tragic emotion is present, the result is almost invariably affirmative.
