“Humans have changed the landscape so much, but images of the sea could
be shared with primordial people. I just project my imagination on to
the viewer, even the first human being. I think first and then imagine
some scenes. Then I go out and look for them. Or I re-create these
images with my camera. I love photography because photography is the
most believable medium. Painting can lie, but photography never lies:
that is what people used to believe.”

Until now, the world we’ve known has been a world divided—a world of barbed wire and concrete block, conflict and cold war. Now, we can see a new world coming into view. A world in which there is the very real prospect of a new world order. In the words of Winston Churchill, a “world order” in which “the principles of justice and fair play … protect the weak against the strong …” A world where the United Nations, freed from cold war stalemate, is poised to fulfill the historic vision of its founders. A world in which freedom and respect for human rights find a home among all nations.
