The story isn't always what we came to tell...

"I was on assignment to document love, not to photograph domestic violence. Accidentally, I discovered a woman could get beaten in her own home by the man that she loves. I never considered that."

-Donna Ferrato, as quoted from the book Witness in Our Time: Working Lives of Documentary Photographers by Ken Light, about the making of her photography book Living with the Enemy
