The first 3 photographs were taken by John Poole who is "embedded with the Massachusetts 1 Disaster Medical Assistance Team, and has photos from their medical base." These collections of photographs are very touching and hard to look at. The light is very strong in this images. Some are brightly colored while others are dingy which adds to the emotional feeling.
The second 2 photographs are by David Gilkey. They show the battle for the goods that were left undamaged and the new goods that were being brought in. The last image really grabs my attention because of the body language and facial expression. The caption at the bottom says "One Haitian man attacks another, in a dispute over goods...". It is hard to image fighting over something like goods that we take for granted everyday.
These photographs have nothing to do with the current project I am working on. But they are a big part of the news and what's going on around us. I feel that attention should be paid to these photographs and that we should realize that there are other people besides ourselves that are going through rough times. If I was not currently enrolled in college I would have traveled over there to document this tragedy.
