My Pictures Are Complex And So Am

I Am Constantly Torn Between The Attitude Of The Conscientious Journalist Who Is A Recorder And Interpreter Of The Facts And Of The Creative Artist Who Often Is Necessarily At Poetic Odds With The Literal Facts.

What Use Having A Great Depth Of Field, If There Is Not An Adequate Depth Of Feeling?

I Can’t Stand These Damn Shows On Museum Walls With Neat Little Frames, Where You Look At The Images As If They Were Pieces Of Art. I Want Them To Be Pieces Of Life!

... To Became Neighbours And Friends Instead Of Journalists. This Is The Way To Make Your Finest Photographs.

I Would That My Photographs Might Be, Not The Coverage Of A News Event, But An Indictment Of War - The Brutal Corrupting Viciousness Of Its Doing To The Minds And Bodies Of Men; And, That My Photographs Might Be A Powerful Emotional Catalyst To The Reasoning Which Would Help This Vile And Criminal Stupidity From Beginning Again.
