the police academy. kids away standing in front of shirtless future policeman. there yeah in fact i didn't suggest going there they offered as soon as i arrived the information service said i was welcome mr abbas how about photographing the police academy i thought i would. like my small propaganda. because you and i decided to go and ask for something in exchange because they were proud of their school. so we went to visit the school could know what to do they were all running working out. and then something clicked in my head to the click moment there it wasn't the right set up this year so it was interesting but i needed to pose them for actually it was more nonchalantly i asked the police academy director why don't you stand in front of your students to call me when you come here look at the guy from the information service or spy agency you gave me ok i go so he stood up in front with his stick as he and i said i don't like the stick. he said what would be
3:31 am
really cause for the came to symbolize apartheid. i think they deeply regretted having invited me to that school because the photo was on magazine covers. agree actually leave here member mule i'll get the new york i even saw they'd made a mural of it in new york. interestingly i saw the colonel again 20 years later a magazine of a magazine i'd been looking for people from famous photographs let me found him he had become a general. retired and all of what he really is holding a magazine with his picture on it you know because of what to. look at he wasn't remotely fanatic he was delightful affable i've. presented and ethical problem. is could i have the right to represent him and use.
3:32 am
some of the symbol of apartheid when he wasn't a bad guy. in fact he said we made a mistake would you say we don't we should have mixed with the blacks not separated them i said by law because of with you i wasn't photographing the man because for the 1st i was photographing the uniformly that in the state he represented as he was what interests me not just here but in every situation isn't the characters themselves. so i only photograph them once unless they're my family and friends it's fleeting level for that i'm interested in what they represent. me scheme enterprise says he will consult. so i'm not. and she should she. i'm sorry my mom didn't play. that.
3:33 am
to misplace. ok but when you're ready. are you ok. you know restarting use later. is a action. reminds us of the title to let your pain. that's what i mostly photographed pain not in fighters but in civilians because they suffer the most for use. you know me perhaps one of my best photographs of the civil war it was in northern ireland and yes he did. you know we see a woman who had been wounded by a bomb planted by the ira. earlier i said i wasn't interested in individuals but rather what they represent so if you don't so for me.
3:34 am
is it this one woman who is suffering or b.s.s. with whole story is her suffering symbolic go all those suffering during the war but was it to me the universal is always the goal. when you aim for the universal you tend to forget about individuals but sometimes to those are. comments of his of us of what did you do afterward. when you came home after a conflict a war where. did you talk about it with your loved one of those there's a phone and i don't know who should ask them they're not here. and.
3:35 am
what will they say that they're interested and there was no ask them about it. it's going to since they want to view the kinds. of us and the boss had 4 sons isn't it the eldest team and i mean it and the twins and a rash. and awful but i think with all of that although there is more work around me our names. the 1st 2 and i'm a rush the 2nd 20 when he disappeared covering wars how did that go. at about 12 we made him promise to stop covering wars he did and 3 months later he went to the gulf war and when you asked him that. yes. when we reached the age of reason we said enough and our grandparents our grandmother also insisted that he not cover wars because we worried about him. it also he promised or he said yes yes
3:36 am
perhaps it basically as you said that he was even. a few months later he went to the gulf war not toward the end of the photo in time. i didn't remember that but you're right i'm here to learn to live with. one of the world's main ills is that people usually don't see going to the birth of us all if you think about it 6 months a year he's alone in the street from 5 am to 8 pm that's quite unusual. in books it's a vocation this part of you. it's your calling and you can't do anything else because some are called to the priesthood he was called to be a photographer the. last question which isn't a question if you each had to choose one word connected to a boss not necessarily
3:37 am
a quality or flaw one word. i'd say thank you merger and i'd say dad. makes if i think you don't. know how many coffees. i know how long black for me. running out of time my boss wanted us to shoot faster so we met every morning and filmed as much as we could too. so. let's go through. the would make the most movement someone of something to not just get you supercomputer upbeat about everything else if he knew he did well so maybe one of the menu investments lasik observes the latest the leaderboard. which she. says.
3:38 am
mirco a lot yeah chaos there's a farsi word. surely. which goes from lovable family mayhem to bloody riots you go it means chaos is the same word. is. as an iranian is and i'm supposed to be just fine with. the iranians love me it was i must not be a very good iranian because i can't seem to photograph. even when it's in front of me i try to organize it all than the good. the one hour by example it was an excellent example. to see it was the 1st anniversary of the iranian revolution it was february 11th 1983 months if the young man in fainted. it is right that there are people who are packed so tightly that this extraordinary
3:39 am
mr rose down to ask scene. if he wants it and then he was in india that i encountered the most the most is this is a suspended moment but at the same time there's a lot of action i love photos with lots of action as book with that's your name that's happening here and there but it's all connected it's all you they can be connected by a peaceful gentle harmony you are by a clashing harmony you know when your party. was given what has always impressed me about this image yes since the one i always wondered where you were when you took the neatly so let's leave some mystery and out explain some photos to much like the photos live their lives and keep their mystery to go they're always there i want to . be clear there is 0 then the chapter on mockery should look i love mockery. your proof of the perfect
3:40 am
example was because. president of the central african republic that's all tuffy crowned himself or on a golden throne was a. soviet or could have been a pleasant surreal have been it if this country hadn't been among the world's poorest cecil b. me people and he saw himself as an emperor so he got moist and i wanted to mark that. is why photographed him with the press just in their shirt sleeves. the quests petrie's. if you don't want any who don't play. and then one point with his train is ermine robe it was 45 degrees celsius in the shade he walked by the toilets i couldn't miss that it's all the best example. of this one of the mujahideen is mocking to jaidyn. what is he doing
3:41 am
there. sit there long as he was on the way into kabul before the mujahideen took the city. so serious you'll see if you believe this is one of my best known photographs from complete not fully veiled woman with a microscope. the mockery is gentler what you do with all of it is your this one for example. of what you are with a woman and the car bailed. you should do could i have 2 favorites which honored all political kink since you this one is in vietnam you have all the selling to coconuts like full breasts and nothing else. that you. could put in madam perhaps my favorite is the one in the book on mexico city a dollar here i wonder why he's carrying a table on his head it's surreal and ridiculous. silly at least if that is what.
3:42 am
your images on religion are what is your. i've always found that i saw some violence and some mockery. live in the book. what is your relationship with god would you. talk about that tomorrow spiritual into this picture to. look if you could feel. his condition wasn't improving we film at his home now he barely ate anything anymore and i started to worry.
3:43 am
maybe but he wanted to keep filming he was his usual self on camera as though everything was fine. money so here we have islam. also in the jews there are similar. christians buddhists hindus. and animists. all those years in contact with religion which make you a believer to korea. why should i do find myself in relation to a fantasy film i mean if it is popular and is universal getting to the us.
3:44 am
could it be. both wars really the other day he may be laughing today. but let's get on with it. seems we've. got to stop it down or so it's about then it's not time it's you but i can hear him giggling behind me about us spiritually to for you god doesn't exist i didn't say that. as does one man or woman in the world believe god exists if you exist the answer is yes and i think also god exists or exist. no said so this is in mecca.
3:45 am
and the sit on this is in indonesia quite young when true believers pray you can tell they've gone somewhere else. cloned. here's a comparison between a shiite muslim or less she and an orthodox jew and the 2 looks reef and there's a family resemblance and now the bounty is. cheating with the jews but i've got another great example of a suspended moment did i say when he took offense was the coffee ceremony in an ethiopian jewish family who hadn't been able to emigrate you're by to make to his room but if i leave you on the side if you bomb or take a chance on the christians i love this one because. sitting there was a mass in the courtyard of a house and bodies might be and again you could feel the spirit of the pure
3:46 am
christianity police put. into a palm yeah what are the samples some think this is a muslim office which is a coptic christian and i remember what she uses the same gestures in prayer. the worship with these 3 next we turn to the buddhists this and we do a lot going around the tree for the tree ceremony she was in new now the hindus. praying in the early morning. for the father wife is tied to her husband with her sari. but with a lot of tranquility. to o.c. with us here you have enjoyed our initiation ceremony in cars some miles in senegal will city go i spent a night during initiation ceremonies it iss in the early morning. it's what's your relationship to god you know john cordial. early it's a professional relationship but cordial. professional in that he doesn't tell me
3:47 am
how to photograph his flock and i don't tell him how to behave towards his believe supposable theory of mutual respect equality and cordial all his speech rarely called yes. there's room for the few i don't photograph religion face. but everything that surrounds it. has social political economic and psychological aspects all that interests me. this is melissa a photographer. and also incidentally my companion. she's
3:48 am
preparing a book of her work so i'm trying to advise. there should be a secret dialogue between the photographs perhaps this could go to the nearest missing but. yes an idea for instance. traveling with him makes me realize how little time we have and how important it is for us to make use of every 2nd that we are given because he does it his photos as. complex as he is profound i thought as he is this creature. and it carries great great depth off emotions and i have never known that to be possible by looking at
3:49 am
a photograph until i thought his work. but although he said his relationship with god is charley professional i see in him a true believer a believer in the human potential of which the limits he challenges every single 2nd of his life. are subject to. let me know when you're ready i'm ready if you're ready to start listing back or. if you've removed you know you better if you were here. you say stop waiting around. during all part of lamberty beauty because corporate years or what can we say about beauty. i have energy to use it as i had a publisher in the u.s. for my book on mexico who said that an old art professor was italian. and every
3:50 am
time he spoke about a painting he stood in front of it and said ha ha ah but what i'm going to do the same thing yeah commune the how many photos are there here 60 years 16 times i'll say ah ha ha since we didn't that says it all.
3:51 am
and if. not it's counter these up a mess and we'll move on to sadness is this. small so sadness. listen i'm not going to go. who are. good at my football up perhaps my favorite photo about sadness is this one see. not if you see a bride in kabul. the minute her husband is absent he had immigrated. i sure it was a marriage by proxy a little bit of the husband was only there on a photo. through by the you can see your face it's not a joyful face those unicorn call hi nikos she in a qur'anic school in southern thailand with. me put there not perhaps the saddest photo i've taken is this one. it's this it was during the siege of sarajevo i
3:52 am
always here was a makeshift cemetery because the serbs surrounded the city itself for lack of space the dead were just buried anywhere. it was every afternoon i walked past here and every afternoon there was a uniformed bosnian soldier mourning his young wife. so one for his grief was very very great because he was there every day for was he later at.
3:53 am
a bus abbas what will be found today. who knows. because when we were starting the last day of filming a bus with abbas took me aside to tell me how he wanted to end the bell. because he knew he'd never see and enters a militia. i . don't believe so private life the last chapter. should be on yeah for iranians there are 2 very different worlds god only and beard or any.
3:54 am
sort of beautiful name is the outside world all that is public and to name is anything private indoors and there's a very clear delineation between them so motion is i mean i've never been comfortable in situations there's private moments and even when i was invited. to parties perhaps subconsciously i thought that i don't like it when my private life was filmed there photographed with a few. when i saw this is one of the few times i've allowed a camera in my own. living if she was. little should this work on private life began when my 1st granddaughter was born which he. up until then i'd only had brothers male cousins and good then son was also usually good if you saw the 1st woman in the pram i was cherished if i meet the fishery culture for the photograph to shut down and counting her sister who was born soon after ages of you people i
