  • “I tried to imagine my life as a mother. I couldn’t think of a single female war photographer who had a stable relationship, much less a husband or a baby.” The New York Times published an excerpt by photojournalist Lynsey Addario from her book “It’s What I Do: A Photographer’s Life of Love and War,” available February 5.
