Tim Page

“I wanted to be a war photographer because I was a hedonist. I was a speed freak. I liked the rush.”

“Any war photographer has to be a pacifist.”

“The first casualty of war is innocence.”

“I'm not even sure I have a soul. I've photographed so much death and destruction, I'm not sure there's any of me left.”

“We were all young, we were all crazy, we were all on drugs. We were in a place where we could do anything we wanted.”

“When I die, I'll probably be reincarnated as a camera.”

“I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy.”

“You go to war to get the pictures that are going to stop the war.”

“I don’t really care about the art of it. I care about the journalism of it.”

“The Vietnam War was what made me. It was my university, my everything.”

“I don't know who the real Tim Page is. I'm just an image. It's a brand now.”

“The only good war photographer is a dead one.”

“Take the picture. That’s all that matters.”
