It's What I Do: A Photographer's Life of Love and War by Lynsey Addario

adventurous emotional hopeful informative tense fast-paced

5.0

I love a good memoir, and although she’s a photographer by trade, Lynsey Addario does this genre so well. Her experiences aren’t only intense—making for a fast-paced read—but she was able to portray what she lived through in a way that made me feel like I was behind her camera. Although I’m sure she experienced true horrors only war can create, this book wasn’t excessively graphic. She beautifully portrayed how the work of journalism and photojournalism is essential to our lives; it’s how we stay informed and grasp a sliver of atrocities around the world. This book is a lesson in human empathy and understanding the cost of war.
