Every moment is unique. It holds its own combination of joy and pain. Its unique nature is the result of infinitely random combinations of people, places and events.
The kaleidoscope of contributing factors form images on the canvas of our lives, some positive and some negative. These images can only be viewed through this kaleidoscope of subjectivity. An event experienced with one person may be entirely different when experienced with another. Even in situations of mortal danger and desperation, if experienced with the right people almost any event can be managed.
My friend Kev Carter photographed me during the war in South Sudan, in 1993. At the time I was working for the UN. The conditions were extreme by any definition. The chances are you will surprise yourself by the reserves you can draw on when you need to.
