I imagine the splendid scene up in those mountains.

Surrounded by lush forest, the gorillas ambal out into a clearing and gaze into the vista.

The surrounding hills come in and out of view as a gentle breeze pushes the mist through the trees and

dense underbrush. In my mind, the photograph is spectacular.

As a special correspondent for Getty images, John Moore's work has taken him all around the world,

often to places of great conflict and human drama. Today, we'll hear John share a story

about the pursuit of a photograph that literally brought him to his knees. In this series,

we blend immersive first-person stories with mindfulness prompts to help you recharge at any moment of the day.

I'm Rohan and I'll be your guide for meditative story. Some of the prompts may feel really right for you.

Others, less so. That's okay.

And now onto the story. John's experience has an intensity to it, and that may make it a less

obvious choice for meditative story, but mindfulness doesn't just mean relaxation. It's also about

vibrancy and aliveness. And now, let go of the need to do anything in particular, ready to hear John's

story. The body relaxed. The body breathing. Your senses open, your mind open, meeting the

world.

In 1994, I traveled to eastern Congo to photograph hundreds of thousands of Hutu refugees living in sprawling camps.

I base myself in the Congolese town of Goma, which straddles the border with Rwanda.

My hotel is modest. I stay in a simple one-floor structure, each room with a mosquito net hanging above single beds. The rooms are arranged around a common area with worn sofas.

The place has been taken over by international journalists, all there to cover the story.

I process my film in a bathroom I fashioned into a dark room by covering the window.

I mix my chemicals in a contraption known as the road warrior.

It keeps the developer at an even 100 degrees.
