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

Hardening of the categories causes art disease.

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.

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

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

I think photojournalism is documentary photography with a purpose.

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.
