... To Became Neighbours And Friends Instead

I Didn’t Write The Rules. Why Would I Follow Them?

My Camera, My Intentions Stopped No Man From Falling. Nor Did They Aid Him After He Had Fallen. It Could Be Said That Photographs Be Damned For They Bind No Wounds. Yet, I Reasoned, If My Photographs Could Cause Compassionate Horror Within The Viewer, They Might Also Prod The Conscience Of That Viewer Into Taking Action.

The Photographer Must Bear The Responsibility For His Work And Its Effect …[for] Photographic Journalism, Because Of Its Tremendous Audience Reached By Publications Using It, Has More Influence On Public Thinking Than Any Other Branch Of Photography.

I Would That My Photographs Might Be, Not The Coverage Of A News Event, But An Indictment Of War.

I Was After A Set Of Pictures, So That When People Looked At Them They Would Say, ‘this Is War’-that The People Who Were In The War Would Believe That I Had Truthfully Captured What They Had Gone Through I Worked In The Framework That War Is Horrible. I Want To Carry On What I Have Tried To Do In These Pictures. War Is A Concentrated Unit In The World And These Things Are Clearly And Cleanly Seen. Things Like Race Prejudice, Poverty, Hatred And Bigotry Are Sprawling Things In Civilian Life, And Not So Easy To Define As War.
