Color fights you the whole time.
Not in the studio, not if you're shooting a movie, a fiction
film. Then of course there's no problem. But when you're
doing reality and you're doing dying, starving people, with
all these red and blue buckets from the U.N. in the picture,
it looks like Coney Island. Color destroys so much.

An act of good photojournalism obliges
us to filter out preconceptions — of our own, of editors
and reporters, of viewers. It requires that we achieve a
state of openness that lets us see what is really there,
of heightened sensitivity that helps us discover the meaning,
of alertness that helps us anticipate the best moment to
make a photograph that will accomplish something close to
this ideal.

“I hope publishers and editors
pay attention to this. I think that there is power in the
still image that doesn’t exist in other forms. I think
that there’s even is a necessity for it because that
many people wouldn’t be looking at still pictures unless
they needed to. Six hundred thousand people looking at my
website is small compared to a television audience, but
I think that number is significant. This is sort of a test
case of mass appeal.”
