If There Is Something Occurring That Is

I Used To Call Myself A War Photographer. Now I Consider Myself As An Antiwar Photographer.

If You Make An Honest Picture Of War, It Will Be An Antiwar Photograph.

I Want My Work To Become Part Of Our Visual History, To Enter Our Collective Memory And Our Collective Conscience. I Hope It Will Serve To Remind Us That History's Deepest Tragedies Concern Not The Great Protagonists Who Set Events In Motion But The Countless Ordinary People Who Are Caught Up In Those Events And Torn Apart By Their Remorseless Fury. I Have Been A Witness, And These Pictures Are My Testimony. The Events I Have Recorded Should Not Be Forgotten And Must Not Be Repeated.

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

Starvation And Disease Are The Original Weapons Of Mass Destruction. When You Burn Fields And Kill Animals, People Are Left Vulnerable.
