Im just interested in what makes a photograph.

Finding the right subject is the hardest part.

Photograph the world as it is. Nothing's more interesting than reality.

I just think it's important to be direct and honest with people about why you're photographing them and what you're doing. After all, you are taking some of their soul.

I'm interested in reality, and I'm interested in survival. I'm interested in people who aren't the lucky ones, who maybe have a tougher time surviving, and telling their story.

It’s not when you press the shutter, but why you press the shutter.

Usually my ideas for work have revolved around my interest in people, especially people that live on the edges of society.

Reality is always extraordinary.

I’m just interested in people on the edges. I feel an affinity for people who haven’t had the best breaks in society. What I want to do more than anything is acknowledge their existence.

I was fascinated by my own prom pictures.

I respect newspapers but the reality is that magazine "photojournalism" is finished. They want illustrations, Photoshopped pictures of movie stars.

u should not be afraid of doing what ur mind tells you 2 do...just listen 2 ur heart...never say never

The radios are going to dictate. That's another fight. That's another story there. I wish they just let it be.

Civilization could not exist until there was written language, because without written language no generation could bequeath to succeeding generations anything but its simpler findings.

Those who give much without sacrifice are reckoned as having given little.

O Elbereth! Gilthoniel! We still remember, we who dwell In this far land beneath the trees. Thy starlight on the Western Seas.

HIV is not a death sentence. It doesn't mean life's over. It means that life's going to be different, but you still get to have those moments that people who don't have HIV experience.

A great maxim of personal responsibility and mature achievement: "Do it yourself" is now the enthroned cliche for being occupied with nonessentials.

No one ever has or ever will travel quite the same path on earth.

It might be funny when you get hit by a car, but not when you get run over by one.

You can drive out nature with a pitch fork But it always comes roaring back again.
