QUOTE: "I DON'T TRUST WORDS. I TRUST PICTURES." -- Giles Peress, Magnum Photographer

Strong words from any photographer, but even more so when we consider that Peress has been documenting the brutal truth of war and conflict for several decades. Whether he is focusing his lens on the brutalities in Rwanda or the atrocities of Bosnia -- Giles Peress faces some of the darkest aspects of human nature. His philosophy towards photography as art has evolved too: 

I don't care so much anymore about 'good photography'; I am gathering evidence for history”
