I Want My Pictures To Cut Through

I Want To Record History Through The Destiny Of Individuals Who Often Belong To The Least Wealthy Classes. I Do Not Want To Show War In General, Nor History With A Capital H, But Rather The Tragedy Of A Single Man, Of A Family.

The Pictures That Were Coming From Vietnam Were Showing Us What Was Really Happening On The Ground Level. It Was In Contradiction To What Our Political And Military Leaders Were Telling Us. They Were Straight Forward Documentary Images. A Powerful Indictment Of The War, Of How Cruel And Unjust It Was. When I Finally Decided What To Do With My Life, It Was To Follow In That Tradition.

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