I Try To Use Whatever I Know

Many People In This World Do Jobs That Are Dangerous And Where Their Life Is At Risk And They Feel That There Is Some Kind Of Value To Their Job I Guess That's How I Feel About What I Do. There Is A Social Function To Documentary Photography That Is Very Important And It Requires People To Take Risks.

If Im Feeling Outraged, Grief, Disbelief, Frustration, Sympathy, That Gets Channeled Through Me And Into My Pictures And Hopefully Transmitted To The Viewer.

I'm Half Deaf. I Have Nerve Damage And A Constant Ringing In Both Of My Ears, And There Are Certain Times And Conditions When I Can Hardly Hear At All.

I Want To Record History Through The Destiny Of Individuals Who Often Belong To The Least Wealthy Classes. I Do Not Want To Show War In General, Nor History With A Capital H, But Rather The Tragedy Of A Single Man, Of A Family.

I Dont Think Tragic Situations Are Necessarily Devoid Of Beauty.
