what he saw and immortalized?

Thanks for sharing. Was not familiar with his name but I have for certain seen his work.

I always wonder, when I see pics of a tragedy, who was on the other side of the camera, how they came to be there, how and why they took the shot, and how it felt to do it, how it felt to be a witness creating a testimony of horrible tragedy, whether they wished they could do more than document the event, whether they could have and whether they had any choice, and whether they can bear to look at their work if it evokes haunting memories, and whether that haunting diminishes over time .
