Besides, the photograph isn't what most people think it is. It's not a picture of the bombing. It doesn't show the explosion, and it doesn't show me being injured. It is a photograph of the rescue.
The story the Wheelchair Photo tells is this: two losers set off bombs, but hundreds of people risked their lives to rush to our aid. The people with me in that picture – Carlos Arrendondo, Devin Wang and Paul Mitchell – aren't the bad guys. They are the heroes. They are saving my life.

...interesting article about one of the most iconic images captured last year. My hat comes off to guys like Charles: when you wake up in the morning to capture a sports event the last thing you expect is to be in the middle of a warzone. I know a few of the guys here were at Boston on this day: so just thought I'd share this.
