While speaking with other photographers, all seem to agree on one thing....no matter how we try, it is nearly impossible to translate the scope and scale of this tragedy into a photograph. One must see it to believe it.

Having said that, I can scarcely begin to imagine what it must have been like to actually live through such a catastrophe...I am certain that only those who witnessed it first hand, truly understand what happened that terrible morning of Dec 26, 2004.
