I think photojournalism is documentary photography with a purpose.

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

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.

The journalistic photographer can have no other than a personal approach; and it is impossible for him to be completely objective. Honest—yes. Objective—no.

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 - 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.

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.
