"Through fifty years in photography, I have entered worlds in transition, seen people isolated, abused, abandoned, and invisible. I work out of a frame of mind that is constantly changing, challenging perceptions and prejudices. I view my work as a series. I often find myself an outsider on the inside discovering beauty and meaning in the most desperate of situations. As Ernst Haas, a pioneer in color photography and a longtime colleague at Magnum, once said to me. "In photography, we do our reading and writing at the same time." (Introduction). Descriptive notes at rear of all volumes. Biographical notes, awards and exhibition history at rear of volume three. Slipcase cracked at bottom front edge and rubbed. Books in fine condition.
