  • “Among the pictures I got was one of a man lying by the embers of a fire in Spitalfields market . . . as well as a portrait of him looking straight at me . . .  covered in dust and dirt from the fire. You can see the truth in those photographs, I think. If you slept on the streets for a few weeks, I wouldn't need to manipulate a photograph of you to show it.”
