It's Hard To Watch Something Go On

When I Started Working For Rolling Stone, I Became Very Interested In Journalism And Thought Maybe That's What I Was Doing, But It Wasn't.

The First Thing I Did With My Very First Camera Was Climb Mt. Fuji. Climbing Mt. Fuji Is A Lesson In Determination And Moderation. It Would Be Fair To Ask If I Took The Moderation Part To Heart. But It Certainly Was A Lesson In Respecting Your Camera. If I Was Going To Live With This Thing, I Was Going To Have To Think About What That Meant. There Were Not Going To Be Any Pictures Without It.

My Hope Is That We Continue To Nurture The Places That We Love, But That We Also Look Outside Our Immediate Worlds.

When I Say I Want To Photograph Someone, What It Really Means Is That I'd Like To Know Them. Anyone I Know I Photograph.

I Was Out There With The White House Press Squad, And After His Helicopter Took Off, And The Carpet Rolled Up...this Wasn't A Photograph That Others Were Taking, But I Continued To Take Pictures.
