Photography Is A Small Voice, At Best,

I Didn’t Write The Rules. Why Would I Follow Them?

My Camera, My Intentions Stopped No Man From Falling. Nor Did They Aid Him After He Had Fallen. It Could Be Said That Photographs Be Damned For They Bind No Wounds. Yet, I Reasoned, If My Photographs Could Cause Compassionate Horror Within The Viewer, They Might Also Prod The Conscience Of That Viewer Into Taking Action.

Most Photographers Seem To Operate With A Pane Of Glass Between Themselves And Their Subjects. They Just Can't Get Inside And Know The Subject.

The Journalistic Photographer Can Have No Other Than A Personal Approach; And It Is Impossible For Him To Be Completely Objective. Honest—yes. Objective—no.

The First Word I Would Remove From The Folklore Of Journalism Is The Word Objective.
