Thinking I was a tourist, a lovely woman offered to take a photo for me with him. I declined but she insisted, saying I’d regret it later if I missed the chance.

As I go to bed tonight I can’t stop thinking about the Afghans who’ve suddenly had to flee their homes and don’t know where they’ll spend the night - and the Haitians whose homes are now rubble.
