00:01Some photographs just transcend all others.

00:04It's difficult to explain it, but you kind of know it when you see it.

00:08A photograph of Kim Phuc is perhaps the most iconic photograph of a war ever made.

00:13It was such a shocking image.

00:15The photographer is almost as well known as the photo itself.

01:51I've been shooting this past 50 years.

01:53The story of my dad.
