[answering criticism that he only showed the positive aspects of the places he
visited] How would I have gained admittance to those countries if I
had commented on their social problems? Aside from being very rude, it
would have been counterproductive. I made my pictures at a time when
travel was almost impossible for the average person. I believe I showed
people what they would have wanted to see if they could have gone
themselves. For years I had a travel agency, too. I don't recall anyone
ever requesting a tour of slums and prisons.
