As an emerging photojournalist in the early 70s, my focus was on trying to create stories for magazines to the exclusion of almost everything else.

Don’t sell yourself short: photograph your own life, not just everyone else’s.

Saying something won't mean anything. We're gonna have to do it. I can't tell you anything that's gonna make you feel like we can turn it around.
