When I was seventeen I dropped out of high school and worked as a bicycle messenger. With the money I saved I hitchhiked through Latin America for fifteen months. I didn’t carry a camera, but once I began to photograph I realized that traveling and photographing are similar activities: both are about being aware, being in the moment and looking around. With my camera in hand I returned to Mexico and India. Then in the mid–1980s I was offered a job with a film team working for the relief and development agency Care. A few times a year we would travel the world to document their activities. Everybody else headed home when we were done, but I would stay and wander around with my camera.
