My first act of civil disobedience remains one of the most important days in my life. It was the moment that convinced me to make photojournalism my career. I learned that it takes a certain kind of personality to risk arrest on your 19th birthday in front of 100,000 people in order to shoot a photo assignment. I also learned that if you turn out to be that kind of person, being a newspaper photographer is the best job in the world.
