"This image deals directly from daily experiences with the people I know, individuals who remind me of friends and people I grew up with. It is not a crusade to change lives or lifestyles, but a record of experiences, ideas, and feelings about a subculture that has endured in the Mexican-American life since the second World War. This lifestyle has been passed from generation to generation. It has survived wars, prisons, and various other elements. My portrayal of these individuals and their lifestyle is neither positive nor negative. My interpretation is subjective and with the viewers, interpretation depended on his or her experience with this lifestyle."
