“When you're out being a photojournalist, it's very important to keep the human aspect in mind and not just be an observer. You're there to observe -it's a very fine line- you're there to observe, but you're also there to be a human being first. — J.M. Giordano
“I tell my students: I don't take sides, I take photographs. So, gang member, passerby -I don't judge. That's not for me to do. I'm there to record and to interact. — J.M. Giordano
“If you want to get into photojournalism, nowadays, you really have to come up with an idea and a series, or a story to sell to a publication. — J.M. Giordano
