When your subject photographs you

Woodruff Laputka: I was shooting a piece for CNN about a group of villagers in Nepal after the earthquake. A young porter asked if he could see my camera. I handed it to him and continued to work while he took my picture. Afterwards, he showed me the photo he took and said he would like to be a photographer one day. I told him he was well on his way.
