This photo is of a young man watching as members of the Red
Cross bury his father who they suspected died of Ebola. The raw emotion on his
face is what makes it so powerful.
This is a photo from Ferguson, MO. Having lived in St.
Louis, I find images such as this one almost unbelievable. Some people may see
bravery in this image, but all I see and hear from all of the stories, videos,
and photos coming from this entire situation is fear. The protesters, police,
and residents of surrounding neighborhoods are all scared of one another.
This photo comes from a photo essay about a now 16-year-old
girl with quadriplegia, who was in a car accident and suffered a bruised spinal
cord at the age of six. After her accident, her doctors, nurses, and
specialists told her that she was lucky to be alive. This index card comes from
a school project that she did about her injury, recovery, and life since. After
working with people with disabilities as a result of an accident of some kind,
I found many feel this way. Seeing a 16-year-old articulate this so bluntly,
however, gives the sentiment even more strength.
This photo shows a vending machine in a former rice field.
It was pushed inland by a tsunami. I’m not sure exactly what I like about it. I
think it’s a mixture of the light and perspective. I think this one also shows strength, but a different kind.
