"Photojournalism provides, for me, a more complex and fully human way of capturing, describing and explaining to others what words often fail to do. My frustration with words is that many times I feel they can only go so far to evoke emotion, imagination, consternation and expectation. Words, for me, often only superficially depict what I see, think and feel. Photojournalism can signify a social and empathic visual encounter with "reality", one that is capable of accentuating the textured fabric of the human condition with dignity, grace, and compassion".
