मेरी माँ बताती थीं कि जब मैं छोटा था, तो मैं लगातार कहता रहता था—"इसे देखो, उसे देखना।" मुझे लगता है कि तस्वीरें लेना शायद लोगों से यह कहने का मेरा अपना तरीका है—"इसे देखो, उसे देखना।" अगर मेरी तस्वीरें देखने वाले को वही महसूस करा सकें जो मैंने उन्हें पहली बार खींचते वक्त महसूस किया था—क्या यह मज़ाकिया... भयानक... भावुक... सुंदर नहीं है?—तो समझो मैंने अपना मकसद पूरा कर लिया।
My mother said that when I was young I was constantly saying, Look at this - Look at that. I think that taking pictures must be my way of asking people to Look at this - Look at that. If my photographs make the viewer feel what I did when I first took them - Isn't this funny... terrible... moving... beautiful? - then I've accomplished my purpose.

एक फोटो पत्रकार बनने के लिए अनुभव, कौशल, सहनशक्ति, ऊर्जा, मार्केटिंग की समझ, संगठन क्षमता, मनाने का हुनर, धक्का-मुक्की करके आगे बढ़ना, बिन-बुलाए घुसना आदि—इन सबके साथ-साथ एक तेज़ नज़र और धैर्य की भी ज़रूरत होती है।
