I Have Always Felt As Though I

The Subject Matter Is So Much More Important Than The Photographer.

I Suffered First As A Child From Discrimination, Poverty ... So I Think It Was A Natural Follow From That That I Should Use My Camera To Speak For People Who Are Unable To Speak For Themselves.

I Think Maybe The Rural Influence In My Life Helped Me In A Sense, Of Knowing How To Get Close To People And Talk To Them And Get My Work Done.

And Now, I Feel At 85, I Really Feel That I'm Just Ready To Start.

I Suffered Evils, But Without Allowing Them To Rob Me Of The Freedom To Expand.
