Operation Lion Heart

San Francisco Chronicle photographer Deanne Fitzmaurice and reporter Meredith May talked about the daily assignment-turned 15-month project documenting 9-year-old Saleh Khalaf and his father. The Iraqi boy was maimed when an explosive he picked up in 2004 detonated injuring him and killing his older brother. Saleh was cared for at an Oakland, Calif., hospital after his father pleaded with American troops for help near thier home in An Nasiriyah, Iraq.

The hour-long discussion with the 2005 Pulitzer Prize for feature photography awardee and the reporter she worked with took place Wednesday on National Public Radio's The Connection from WBUR in Boston.
