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

I would that my photographs might be, not the coverage of a news event, but an indictment of war.

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.

In music I still prefer the minor key, and in printing I like the light coming from the dark. I like pictures that surmount the darkness, and many of my photographs are that way. It is the way I see photographically. For practical reasons, I think it looks better in print too.

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

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

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.
