The worst thing is to feel that as a photographer I am benefiting from someone else's tragedy. This idea haunts me. It's something I have to reckon with every day because I know that if I ever allowed genuine compassion to be overtaken by personal ambition, I will have sold my soul.

The extent to which I do that is the extent to which I become accepted by the other; and to that extent, I can accept myself. Share this quote.
