and I've been involved in the documentary

filmmaking business all over the world for the last 10 years.

我在過去的10年之中，在世界各地

often much to the annoyance of the video cameramen.

我發現我自己會在一旁拍攝照片，

I found this photography of mine almost compulsive.

而這往往惹惱了紀錄片的攝影師，

And at the end of a shoot, I would sometimes feel that

因為我的這種攝影習慣幾乎已經變成了一種強迫行為。

I had photographs that told a better story

than a sometimes-sensational documentary.

我自己拍的照片，比精彩的紀錄片

不管原本要拍的議題或政策是什麼。

I traveled to Iraq, Afghanistan and Liberia.

我去了伊拉克，阿富汗和賴比瑞亞。

other people's suffering, up close and personal,

immersed myself in some rather intense and emotional stories,

and at times I experienced great fear for my own life.

讓我沉浸在一些相當濃烈的情感故事當中，

而有時候，我也會為自己的生命安危感到害怕。

and often to animated discussions at friend's homes,

一如既往，我回到班加羅爾(Bangalore)，

並且像以往一樣在朋友的家裡，

while they complained bitterly about the new pub timings,

where a drink often cost more than what they'd paid

而當他們都在苦苦抱怨新酒吧的營業時間時，

我發現這些酒吧的飲料售價往往比

I would feel very isolated during these discussions.

他們14歲的女傭工資來得更高。

But at the same time, I questioned myself

在這些討論當中，我覺得非常孤立，

and my own integrity and purpose in storytelling.

究竟為什麼要分享這些故事，背後的精神是否夠正直。

just like my friends in those discussions,

就像我這些朋友在討論的事情一樣，

I won't go into details about what led to a decision I made,

but let's just say it involved alcohol, cigarettes,

我不會詳細說明是什麼讓我做出這個決定，

就把原因想成是因為有酒精、香煙、

that was the only instrument in storytelling

In my life, when I tried to achieve things

like success or recognition, they eluded me.

在我的生命之中，當我試著去追求

Paradoxically, when I let go of these objectives,

成功和名利時，我無法得到它們，

and worked from a place of compassion and purpose,

looking for excellence, rather than the results of it,

everything arrived on its own, including fulfillment.

Photography transcended culture, including my own.

一切都水到渠成，包含自我實現。

And it is, for me, a language which expressed the intangible,

攝影是超越於文化之上的，包含我自己的文化；

and gives voice to people and stories without.

對我而言，攝影是表達看不到的東西的一種語言，

I invite you into three recent stories of mine,

也是賦予無聲的人或故事的一種聲音。

which are about this way of looking, if you will,

我要講三個最近發生在我身上的故事，

讓我們用這樣的方式來看，假如您可以的話，

of what I like to call compassion in storytelling.

did an independent, self-funded film, still in progress,

正在那裡製作一部獨立製片的影片，

故事是關於一位非常傳奇、也很殘酷的軍閥---

His real name is Joshua, and he's pictured here in a cell

where he once used to torture and murder people,

他的真實姓名是賈許(Joshua)，這張照片拍攝於一個囚室，

他在這裡曾用酷刑虐待和謀殺很多人，

more than 10,000 people during Liberia's civil war.

He got his name from fighting stark naked.

And he is probably the most prolific mass murderer

他的名字得自於他戰鬥時的一絲不掛，

This woman witnessed the General murdering her brother.

Joshua commanded his child-soldiers to commit unspeakable crimes,

這位女性親眼目睹將軍殺害了她的弟弟，

and enforced his command with great brutality.

賈許命令他的兒童士兵犯下滔天罪行，

Today many of these children are addicted to drugs like heroin,

並以十分殘酷的方式執行他的命令。

and they are destitute, like these young men in the image.

今天，許多這些童兵還沉迷於毒品海洛因，

就像照片中的這些年輕人，他們是非常貧困的。

if you know you've committed horrific crimes?

如果你知道你犯下了可怕的罪行，

Today the General is a baptized Christian evangelist.

現在，這位將軍已是受洗過的基督教傳道者，

We accompanied Joshua, as he walked the Earth,

visiting villages where he had once killed and raped.

前往他曾殺害和強姦人民的鄉村，

他會被當場打死，我們也逃不了。

In the midst of incredible poverty and loss,

在難以置信的貧困和損失當中，

寬恕了眼前這位曾經奪走一切的人。

Senegalese, the young man seated on the wheelchair here,

was once a child soldier, under the General's command,

席尼格里，這位坐在輪椅上的年輕人，

He risked his life as he walked up to people

在這張照片中，年輕人寬恕了將軍。
