3 Facts

-It was a bunch of pictures taken from a journalist in Afghanistan that was seriously injured by an explosion.

- This particular explosion left him without two of his legs and with serious internal injuries.

- A lady that was working with him, did not follow him over the hill- and she then saw the explosion and she called for help. He was able to take three more shots on his camera before he was too weak to hold it.

2 Questions

- What specifically was he trying to photograph?

- Is the amount of injuries of photographers necessary to the documentation of the wars?

They started this blog to help raise money for him and his rehabilitation. This is going to be a long hall for him, but he is very lucky to have survived the blast with only the few injuries.

New Vocab:

The vocabulary was not particularly challenging, as I found the words were clear and concise of trying to get the message across.
