I used to watch the Vietnam war on TV and look at the pictures in the papers when I was a kid. The people I admired were the reporters, cameramen and photographers. I was given a camera for my 12th or 13th birthday, some sort of Instamatic. I had no idea why my pictures were all rubbish, but I persisted, and learned by trying to imitate photographers I admired. Not having a war of my own to photograph, I had to try and imitate Cartier-Bresson's pictures taken in the streets.
