Times Photographer Not Sweating the Leg Loss

Joao Silva lost his legs after stepping on a land mine in Afghanistan, where he was working as a war photographer. Not only does Silva describe his “amazing experience” since the injury in a recent speech, but he details the explosion and how he shot three frames while the medics worked on him: “Then I proceeded to lie back and smoke a cigarette.” [NYT]
