Enthusiasm Is The Electricity Of Life. How

I Think Most People Can Do A Whole Lot More If They Just Try.

I've Been Asked If I Think There Will Ever Come A Time When All People Come Together. I Would Like To Think There Will. All We Can Do Is Hope And Dream And Work Toward That End. And That's What I've Tried To Do All My Life.

Many Times I Wondered Whether My Achievement Was Worth The Loneliness I Experienced, But Now I Realize The Price Was Small.

I Picked Up A Camera Because It Was My Choice Of Weapons Against What I Hated Most About The Universe: Racism, Intolerance, Poverty. I Could Have Just As Easily Picked Up A Knife Or A Gun, Like Many Of My Childhood Friends Did... Most Of Whom Were Murdered Or Put In Prison... But I Chose Not To Go That Way. I Felt That I Could Somehow Subdue These Evils By Doing Something Beautiful That People Recognize Me By, And Thus Make A Whole Different Life For Myself, Which Has Proved To Be So.

You Know, The Camera Is Not Meant Just To Show Misery. You Can Show Things That You Like About The Universe, Things That You Hate About The Universe. It's Capable Of Doing Both.
