Videographer John Poole and I were the first visual professionals that NPR had ever hired. A few months into my tenure, NPR decided to add another videographer to the staff, so John and I started looking through resumes and portfolios. The one that immediately rose to the top was Gilkey\u2019s. And I\u2019ll admit, at first, I was completely skeptical of hiring him.<\/p>\n<p>But, his visual storytelling was amazing. So I called all his references, and their accolades went something like this:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTender.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cKind.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cCaring.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cThe sweetest person you\u2019ll ever meet.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cA loyal photographer and friend.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cYou will not regret hiring him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And thank God we did.<\/p>\n<p>David Gilkey was not just a photographer \u2014 he was a humanitarian, and a deeply sensitive journalist who truly cared about his subjects and managed to find beauty and spirit in even the most deeply wounded people.

He seemed to prefer being hot, sweaty, and uncomfortable while lugging around heavy gear in the field over the air-conditioned comforts of the newsroom. I remember him showing off a military-grade helmet and flak jacket he had commissioned from some outdoor supply company, and he was as giddy as a boy at Christmas. (And he had great taste in expensive leather boots\u2026)<\/p>\n<p>But despite his hunger to be out in the field, while he was in the office at NPR, he would help anyone who asked \u2014 from an intern needing basic camera tips, to a producer going overseas for the first time, to me, his editor, who wanted to publish his photos large and loud for the world to see. And he was funny. Man, was he funny. And when he would stroll back into the office after a month away, our whole team (Fun Floor Five!) would jump up to give him a huge welcome home.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.npr.org\/sections\/thetwo-way\/2016\/06\/05\/480859153\/npr-photographer-interpreter-killed-in-afghanistan\" target=\"_blank\">David was killed on Sunday<\/a> in Afghanistan along with his interpreter <a href=\"http:\/\/www.npr.org\/sections\/parallels\/2016\/06\/06\/480944325\/he-had-a-great-eye-for-a-story\" target=\"_blank\">Zabihullah Tamanna<\/a> when their vehicle was struck by Taliban fire in a roadside ambush.

A neighbor I\u2019d never met brought me tissues, and water, and a hug. It was a small comfort, but it was something David himself would have done \u2014 for despite his seemingly rough exterior, he was, indeed, kind to the core.<\/p>\n<p>I have been amazed at the outpouring of love, gratitude and appreciation for Gilkey that has been written about him in the past few days. He touched everyone who knew him. I\u2019ve been thinking about why. For all David\u2019s complaining and moaning about everything under the sun, he was brutally honest about his own pain and suffering, and he was a damn good listener too. Combine those two traits and you have someone who you feel close to, even after the briefest interaction. So yes, he touched hundreds, thousands, of the people who met him in person, and even more who saw his photos and were moved by them. He was special and unique. An artist. A renegade. A soldier. A fine and tender soul.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_168861\" class=\"wp-caption module image aligncenter\">\n<hr \/>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Words by Coburn Dukehart<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Article first appeared on\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/wisconsinwatch.org\">http:\/\/wisconsinwatch.org<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I first met David Gilkey in 2006 when I was a junior photo editor at usatoday.com.
