During the interview, he persuaded the editor of Time magazine to pay $500 for his plane ticket from Europe to Vietnam. He rewarded Time magazine, giving priority to photos taken by Time magazine. "

On February 27th, 2004, Robert Preki, a famous photo curator and president of American Contact Photo Agency, recalled the past of photographer David Burnett. "David stayed in Vietnam for two years, where he took the photos he wanted to take. On June 8th, 1972, accompanied by a TV reporter, David and Vietnamese photographer Huang passed through a village. At this time, the Vietnam war is coming to an end. The invincible American army has been bombing civilian villages and unarmed people in Vietnam. Huang and TV reporters saw a group of children in shock. The children ran on the road in panic, and a girl ran to the front in tears. The girl is naked. David quickly aimed the camera at the children, but all the 36 negatives in David's camera were used in the last one. David and Huang aimed the camera at the running children almost at the same time. He pressed the shutter and quickly changed the film. By the time he raised the camera again, the crying girl had already run past, and he photographed her running back. "

The running girl's name is Pan Jinshu, 9 years old. David and Huang filmed children running around scared by incendiary bombs falling from the sky, and also filmed a 9-year-old crying and streaking on the road because his clothes caught fire. The photos taken by David and Huang were quickly published by The New York Times and Time magazine. These photos vividly and uniquely show the cruelty of war and the fear and pain it brings. After the Vietnam War, many people said that the cruel war images taken by war reporters in Vietnam contributed to the early end of the Vietnam War. This little Vietnamese girl named Pan Jinshu became famous for this photo, and later she became a United Nations peace ambassador.

But just two months after signing the contract, Life magazine went bankrupt. Preki called Life magazine to find Burnett. People there said that Burnett was in Brazil, and Preki left a message on the answering machine. He said he wanted to see him. A few days later, Burnett appeared. A few days later, they co-founded the American Contact Photo Agency.

Like a seedling exposed to fire and sun, it longs for dew, but there is no dew? The little boy ran to the tap water pipe where there was water and took a sip. This is the source of his life and the only way for him to live. His eyes were closed and his bronzed skin was like a statue longing for life. However, there is no water here. This photo, like the one in 1972, has become a shocking classic image of the 20th century.

"The quality of a photojournalist is honesty, courage and compassion. Photographers should pursue and explore truth, which has nothing to do with values and ideology. Integrity, honesty, love of justice and responsibility for history are the basic qualities of journalists.

"It is not easy to be a photographer now, and the work is very difficult. In this industry, you face more difficult jobs alone. You did it because you wanted to. Those photographers who contact the photo agency cooperate with the photo agency because their principles are the same as those of the photo agency, and their ideals coincide with those of the photo agency.

Salgado said: "Although those laborers are in rags and even naked, they still have human dignity. I feel that there are too many unfairness in our world. Conscience drives me to film them to attract people's attention. "
