When The Truth Is Spoken, It Doesn't

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

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.

The Greatest Statesmen, Philosophers, Humanitarians ... Have Not Been Able To Put An End To War. Why Place That Demand On Photography?

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.

I'm Half Deaf. I Have Nerve Damage And A Constant Ringing In Both Of My Ears, And There Are Certain Times And Conditions When I Can Hardly Hear At All.
