What she does, with clarity, beauty, and candour, is to document, often in their most extreme moments, the complex lives of others. It's her work, but it's much more than that - it's her singular calling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLynsey Addario was just finding her way as a young photographer when September 11 changed the world.
