Fortunately, I've never been very conscious and inhibited of what I have to do. The camera's my soul mate.

I totally love being on camera.

Working in front of the camera keeps me alive.

I love the luxury of the camera. The camera does so much for you. I like the secrets a camera can tell.

When I'm photographing, I think - like any rescue worker who deals with tragedy - you have to have some protective barrier around your heart so you can do your job. You tend to have a delayed reaction to things. I feel things more deeply after I put the camera down.

I treat the camera like a person - I gaze into it. Photos are a flat thing, and you need to put life into them.

I believe in living with the camera, and not using the camera.

I love the camera; there's something very special and sensual about it, and I have a tendency to call it a he, like it was a man. But, unlike a man, a camera is accepting of everything I do.

I love this life. I feel like I am always catching my breath and saying, 'Oh! Will you look at that?' Photography has been my way of bearing witness to the joy I find in seeing the extraordinary in ordinary life. You don't look for pictures. Your pictures are looking for you.
