There is a brief moment when all there is in a man's mind and soul and spirit is reflected through his eyes, his hands, his attitude. This is the moment to record.

It is part of the elusive secret that hides in everyone, and it has been my life's work to try to capture it on film.

My quest has brought me great joy. My desire was to portray, to interpret, to record the human spirit, the human soul.
