R.I.P. Stanley

Stanley about the two events which where changing his life in an interview on TIME. The full Time story is here: http://time.com/stanley-greene/

Often former colleagues asking why I’m living in the South of France with my wife and a Rottweiler and not working on stories as I have used to do. This of course has to do with my wife. She have had enough of worrying. But also it has to do with politics. I felt my photos are just being used for a purpose, so they where used for political goals. And most of all has to do of what Stanley Greene is taking about: “they only thing they care about is money”… Selling photos of the dead and the helpless.

Stanley died a few days ago in Paris, at the age of 68. It took me a while find some words about Stanley. It is always difficult to find words when you have been with someone together in very bad surroundings. Even if you only share a few days, everything is more compact and condensed. We met in Iraq because of my “special” vehicles.
