Paul Fusco Zapatista uprising. Chiapas, Mexico. 1994.

(...) My responsibility is to take things that are hidden and share them with my viewers. To allow everyone to see what my subjects are feeling. I have to be as truthful as I can. I cannot make stories up about them or make them become something I want them to be. I want my photographs to show what the people are feeling at the moment I shoot. This is what I’m most interested in understanding and revealing to others: trying to bring to life issues that dramatically affect our whole society. …”
