“I think deep down a lot of us who photograph conflicts are really selfish and self-centered. You can’t do this job unless you only care about what you’re doing and no one else in your life. I say that as a husband and a father. Here I am risking my life when I have a wife and two young children at home. There is a certain level of selfishness, and I have to accept it. I am not necessarily doing the most fatherly and responsible thing. But at the same time I’m putting the story of the people and places I’m photographing before my own personal story. I think there has to be some ego involved, definitely, and an inherent curiosity.”
