• I only know how to approach a place by walking. For what does a street photographer do but walk and watch and wait and talk, and then watch and wait some more, trying to remain confident that the unexpected, the unknown, or the secret heat of the known awaits just around the corner.

• Photograph because you love doing it, because you absolutely have to do it, because the chief reward is going to be the process of doing it. Other rewards - recognition, financial remuneration - come to so few and are so fleeting...Take photography on as a passion, not a career.

• Los fotoperiodistas tradicionales llegan con una idea de lo que van a producir o de lo que quiere el editor. Yo me acerco al tema como un fotógrafo callejero y un trotamundos, sin ideas preconcebidas. Intento que sea extremadamente intuitivo y exploratorio.

• Hay algo en la luz, el calor (físico y tal vez metafísico), la vitalidad de la vida en la calle, y la crudeza y desarticulación de gran parte del mundo tropical que me ha conmovido y perturbado - en lugares donde la cultura indígena es a menudo transformada por una cultura norteña externa (a veces la mía propia.... Sospecho que uno tiene unas cuantas obsesiones creativas serias en la vida. Yo, desde luego, no puedo escapar de ésta.

• En el fotoperiodismo tradicional hay una sensación abrumadora de... imágenes que dicen algo, que definen algo. Yo no intento definir las cosas. Intento explorar cosas. Intento hacer preguntas.

• It's not just that that and that exists. It's that that, that, that, and that all exist in the same frame. I'm always looking for something more. You take in too much; perhaps it becomes total chaos. I'm always playing along that line: adding something more, yet keeping it sort of chaos.

• My understanding – of course, I’m not a philosopher or a scientist – of an aspect of Goethe’s theory of color is that he felt that color came out of tension between light and dark. I think that is very appropriate when you think about the kind of color that I shoot.

• ... the possibility of one particular photographer's pictures lying around the corner is never realized until the photographer is there. It's one of the enigmas of photography.

• Siempre he pensado que muchos de los trabajos más interesantes, no sólo los míos sino también los de otras personas, se sitúan en la zona inferior, en algún lugar entre los mundos del documental y el fotoperiodismo (dos palabras muy vagas) y el mundo del arte. Creo que gran parte de la fotografía de calle se sitúa en esa zona.

• Three years after my first trip to Haiti, I realized there was another emotional note that had to be reckoned with: the intense, vibrant color of these worlds. Searing light and intense color seemed somehow embedded in the cultures that I had begun working in, so utterly different from the gray-brown reticence of my New England background. Since then, I have worked predominantly in color.

• I mean its an obsession, you follow the obsession but at the same time you have so many doubts, you know. Why am I wasting so much money going back to this place, taking more pictures? What’s the point of it? No one cares about it. I think I care about it but maybe I am deceiving myself.
