the terrible thing about such overwhelming catastrophe is tht at first you feel elated and a bit euphoric because you escaped and then later the real losses and reality set in with the very real trauma. By that time, the public has moved onto some other story and shrugs its shoulders and tells you to forget wheat happened, but you can never forgot the terror that happened in a few hours or in a night by a catastrophe completely outside your control. The internal terror might never go away for many of these people even if they gain homes and add new pets … That devastation shown in a few pictures by a photographer lasts their life… you can’t replace a home or cat or the emotional security. It’s catastrohpic.

Just incredible. The loss that all of those people are feeling must me huge. To see those photos that you have taken of such a tragic event, documented in a way that I can sense their pain and suffering. My heart goes out to them all.
