"I never felt in competition with anybody in war photography. You're lucky to get your ***** in and out again. It's as simple as that. It's the easiest photography in the world to shoot somebody who's been shot up. It doesn't take a genius. That's easy. The only thing you need to know is your photography. Get in and if you're lucky get out. And get as close as you can get."

-- David Douglas Duncan

A weapon of mass destruction. A planet-killer. Folks, I'll never understand studios. Aeon Flux is not that terrible.”
“I've no desire to start a movement, to be the first name on an open petition, or to be the poster child for disgruntled writers.”
