Do We Really Need Another

I Became A Photographer In Order To Be A War Photographer, And A Photographer Involved In What I Thought Were Critical Social Issues. From The Very Beginning This Was My Goal.

Do We Really Need Another Picture Of Paris Hilton Or Naomi Campbell?

Many People In This World Do Jobs That Are Dangerous And Where Their Life Is At Risk And They Feel That There Is Some Kind Of Value To Their Job I Guess That's How I Feel About What I Do. There Is A Social Function To Documentary Photography That Is Very Important And It Requires People To Take Risks.

There Is A Job To Be Doneto Record The Truth. I Want To Wake People Up!

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.
