Thanks so much! I ended up deciding to leave after this set because I had just seen to much death and noone was paying attention to what was happening. I didn't feel my photos were doing anything, and I didn't want to photograph death just for the sake of photographing death. That was not my purpose.

These pictures are hard to look at, but they are so real. Salute to the photographer.

Inhumanity? Humans have been inhumane since humans exist! It is a part of humanity.So think about the word humanitarian aid asf...
I think picture like this must be shown and must be seen, turning the head the other way is also too much human.
Chapeau to your photography!

Another thing I was trying to show, and I guess I left out one of the pics showing this, was how immune people in these areas have become to this. The people just walk right by the bodies because they are so used to seeing them. There is another shot, which for some reason I forgot to post, of this man in the first pic, and people walking by going to church, not even giving much thought to this man lying there dead. I will have to go back and find that pic. It's on another computer, but I will post it at some point and show you what I mean. It's just very sad, but life just goes on. The people in Haiti are very resilient.

Actually, I converted these to black and white so they wouldnt be so graphic. These pics were actually important because what was happening was supposedly all a fabrication and noone believed it until they saw these pics. These were given to the embassy for free so they had proof this was happening. After shooting these pics (which were also shot while covering the flood where close to 3000 people died), I decided to leave because I was tired of photographing so much death. At the time, I didnt see the point, until I had people asking to show proof of this. Believe me, I do not like to photograph this stuff at all, but if someone didnt, noone would know what was happening, and this was a daily occurence. Very sad.

I don't know ? Even 60 years ago the master like Robert Capa wasn't so aggressive in his view of death and humans in it.We have now a Iraq war, maybe there is a censorship but still picture like this /which I believe every day deliver a hundreds/ do not make to public view one more time I just don't know ?

Very powerfull indeed. This shows you how far in-humanity has gone. But, one can only imagine how far it will come. It's sad, very sad.
