I wanted kids to have context for seeing the horrible footage of 9/11. I wanted them to feel the patriotism that united us, the sense of inclusivity, of not discriminating against religions.

What I had to do was learn how to tell stories with my pictures. At first I didn't even know what that meant because I thought I was already doing it.

I hope they like me!" And that's just so stupid.
