None Of The Editors I've Worked With

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

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

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 Dont Think Tragic Situations Are Necessarily Devoid Of Beauty.

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.
