I always said it kept me alive - photography - because it did. It was my catharsis.

I'm known for taking pictures very close, and the older I get, the closer I get.

I love the people I photograph. I mean, they're my friends. I've never met most of them or I don't know them at all, yet through my images I live with them.

I can imagine playing in America.

Nothing can occur beyond the strength of faith to sustain, or, transcending the resources of religion, to relieve.

Economics spreads happiness.
