Visiting a World Press Photo exhibition always moves me to the core as the photojournalists who go around the globe bring us views of the world and of human life that run an equally large gamut of emotions. The above photo for example punches me in the gut. The Iraqi Special Forces rescue this tiny naked little boy. During the press tour we were told by Yi Wen Hsia, the director of the exhibition and representative of World Press Photo Amsterdam, that one of those men adopted the child who, like many other children, was used as a human shield.
