I Try To Use Whatever I Know

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.

I Don't Believe There's Any Such Thing As Objective Reality. It's Only Reality As We Experience It.

But Everyone Cannot Be There, And That Is Why Photographers Go There - To Show Them, To Reach Out And Grab Them And Make Them Stop What They Are Doing And Pay Attention To What Is Going On - To Create Pictures Powerful Enough To Overcome The Diluting Effects Of The Mass Media And Shake People Out Of Their Indifference - To Protest And By The Strength Of That Protest To Make Others Protest.

If There Is Something Occurring That Is So Bad That It Could Be Considered A Crime Against Humanity, It Has To Be Transmitted With Anguish, With Pain, And Create An Impact In People - Upset Them, Shake Them Up, Wake Them Out Of Their Everyday Routine.

I Used To Call Myself A War Photographer. Now I Consider Myself As An Antiwar Photographer.
