    “On the one hand, I wish I hadn’t had to take that picture. I would have
    much preferred to have taken one of Alan playing on the beach than
    photographing his corpse. What I saw has left a terrible impression that
    keeps me awake at night. “Then again, I am happy that the word finally cares
    and is mourning the dead children. I hope that my picture can contribute to
    changing the way we look at immigration in Europe, and that no more people
    have to die on their way out of a war."
