War photographers, a Guardian feature, including João Silva:
I’d been in Afghanistan for a month when I stepped on the landmine. I was the third man in line, and as I put my foot down, I heard a metallic click and I was thrown in the air. I knew exactly what had happened.
…I knew my legs had gone, so I called my wife on the satellite phone and told her not to worry.
Imagine picking up that call.
