I suffered evils, but without allowing them to rob me of the freedom to expand.
I have always felt as though I needed a weapon against evil.
I had known poverty firsthand, but there I learned how to fight its evil - along with the evil of racism - with a camera.
I picked up a camera because it was my choice of weapons against what I hated most about the universe: racism, intolerance, poverty. I could have just as easily picked up a knife or a gun, like many of my childhood friends did... most of whom were murdered or put in prison... but I chose not to go that way. I felt that I could somehow subdue these evils by doing something beautiful that people recognize me by, and thus make a whole different life for myself, which has proved to be so.
