Photojournalist Lynsey Addario's journey
Beautiful, haunting and informative are just a few words one might use to describe Lynsey Addario's work as a photojournalist. Risking life to document crises around the world is a mission most people would shy away from, but Addario runs towards it. In her new book, "It's What I Do: A Photographer's Life of Love and War," Addario shares her journey covering chaos and suffering, and finding love in the middle of it all.
