I saw that the camera could be a weapon against poverty, against racism, against all sorts of social wrongs. I knew at that point I had to have 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.
The camera could be a very powerful instrument against discrimination, against poverty, against racism.
I had known poverty firsthand, but there I learned how to fight its evil - along with the evil of racism - with a camera.
