It's a process of getting to know people. That's what photography is to me. It's about paying attention, not screwing up and blowing a great opportunity.

I can photograph someone if I can touch them.

War all comes down to these little tiny stories about people's lives that will never be the same.

I'm often uncomfortable taking pictures, especially if people are grieving, or hurt, or hungry. At such times I have to remind myself that I'm a photographer and that this is my job.

My biggest problem is I'm so uninteresting that all these people forget I'm around.

Approaching people is not - it's ironic that it's what I do - but it's not necessarily what I enjoy doing. Later on, I'm fine. Once we get talking I have a great time but not in the beginning.

We could be happy if the air was as pure as beer.
