[photography] Puts A Human Face On Issues

Is It Possible To Put An End To A Form Of Human Behavior Which Has Existed Throughout History By Means Of Photography?

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

I Dont Think Tragic Situations Are Necessarily Devoid Of Beauty.

The Worst Thing Is To Feel That As A Photographer I Am Benefiting From Someone Else's Tragedy. This Idea Haunts Me. It's Something I Have To Reckon With Every Day Because I Know That If I Ever Allow Genuine Compassion To Be Overtaken By Personal Ambition, I Will Have Sold My Soul. The Only Way I Can Justify My Role Is To Have Respect For The Other Person's Predicament. The Extent To Which I Do That Is The Extent To Which I Become Accepted By The Other; And To That Extent, I Can Accept Myself.

For Me, The Strength Of Photography Lies In Its Ability To Evoke Humanity. If War Is An Attempt To Negate Humanity, Then Photography Can Be Perceived As The Opposite Of War.
