• He sido manipulado, y a mi vez he manipulado a otros, al registrar su respuesta al sufrimiento y la miseria. Así que hay culpa en todas direcciones: culpa porque no practico la religión, culpa porque pude alejarme, mientras este hombre moría de hambre o era asesinado por otro hombre con una pistola. Y estoy cansado de la culpa, cansado de decirme a mí mismo: "Yo no maté a ese hombre en esa fotografía, yo no maté de hambre a ese niño. Por eso quiero fotografiar paisajes y flores. Me estoy condenando a la paz.

• La fotografía es un caso de mantener todos los poros de la piel abierta, así como los ojos. Muchos fotógrafos de hoy en día piensan que por ponerse el uniforme, el chaleco de pesca y todas las Nikons, eso les convierte en fotógrafos. Pero no es así. No es sólo ver. Es sentir.

• La belleza es una palabra peligrosa. Para mí, la belleza se convierte en algo indulgente. Es una especie de momento arrebatado para mí, porque tengo derecho a un buen día en mi vida, pero la belleza se acerca al narcisismo, que realmente me disgusta, sobre todo en los seres humanos que han nacido con buena apariencia, que se aprovechan de ello. Es una palabra un poco dudosa para mí. La miro con cautela. Puede ser como meterse en arenas movedizas; puede meterte en todo tipo de problemas.

• I think, the more of a student I am, the better it will be for my work because it means once you have too many accolades you don't try harder. I would never allow myself to think that I don't have to try harder. I like the idea of always learning, always trying to do better. The word "master" sits uneasy on my terms.
