I Have Been A Witness, And These

I Dont Think Tragic Situations Are Necessarily Devoid Of Beauty.

If I Can Upset People, If I Can Ruin Their Day, Then I Have Done My Job.

I Try To Use Whatever I Know About Photography To Be Of Service To The People I'm Photographing.

The Pictures That Were Coming From Vietnam Were Showing Us What Was Really Happening On The Ground Level. It Was In Contradiction To What Our Political And Military Leaders Were Telling Us. They Were Straight Forward Documentary Images. A Powerful Indictment Of The War, Of How Cruel And Unjust It Was. When I Finally Decided What To Do With My Life, It Was To Follow In That Tradition.

For Me, The Strength Of Photography Lies In Its Ability To Evoke Humanity. If War Is An Attempt To Negate Humanity, Then Photography Can Be Perceived As The Opposite Of War.
