00:00They're seeing me with these dark glasses.

00:02I've shot my pictures with this eye,

00:05and this other eye is now having trouble staying open.

00:08Didn't think I was trying to be a big shot.

00:15I think we should start this where it began.

00:19I used to go out on the street

00:20trying to emulate Henry Cartier-Bresson,

00:24and usually my timing was off by a few seconds.

00:27These files are just filled with stories.

00:32If you name a subject, I probably can come up with it.

00:37I once went going through a hospital

00:39where they were trying to steal needles.

00:42And sometimes working with groups like that

00:45is a good entree into being able to do emotional stories

00:49about people who need to be talked about.

00:53We had a ceremony today.

00:55What did you win it for?

00:56I'm a photographer.

00:58And so this is your crew?

01:00Yes, sir.

01:01I worked on probably 400 movies.

01:07There were two movie posters that were done

01:09on this very couch.

01:11Another was Ferris Bueller, right on this couch.

01:16Throughout my life, I've been very involved

01:18with civil rights and with justice,

01:21and it's something I care very, very much about.

01:23I asked my editor if I could do a photo essay

01:27on James Baldwin.

01:29We saw a back door which said,

01:32colored entrance only.

01:34I photographed the third summer march.

01:37I always feel that the things that are important in a photograph

01:42were emotion, design, and information.

01:46If you can get all three of those into your photograph,

01:50I think you're doing okay.

01:51I've always enjoyed being a fly on the wall

01:57and wait for that moment

01:58when there's something in someone's eyes

02:01and the way they look

02:02which gives you a hint as to who they are

02:05and what's very special about them.

02:07I'm going to be one of my favorite movies here.

02:09I'm going to walk to the other movies

02:11and see you in the next video.

02:12I've always enjoyed the movie.

02:14I'm going to walk to the board

02:17and I'll have a very special episode
