Starvation And Disease Are The Original Weapons

When The Truth Is Spoken, It Doesn't Need To Be Adorned. It Just Needs To Be Simply Stated, And Often It Only Needs To Be Said Once.

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.

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.

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 Try To Use Whatever I Know About Photography To Be Of Service To The People I'm Photographing.
