Capturing the hearts of millions with the powerful use of photographs, complimented by your narrations.<br /><br />2 comments: <br />1. On your point “ One might suggest that a photo can also tell a lie through skillful manipulation. However, it can also reveal..bloodiest form. ” … Yes, you are right about what a photo can be read differently. We have to acknowledge the fact that there always are variances in how people look at the same thing, whether it is a photo, article or event. Different perspectives do happen. But in this Haiti’s disaster, I am very sure there is only one common perspective – sympathies go to the people of Haiti. <br /><br />2. Perhaps, overall, what the whole horrifying disaster, which has taken thousands and thousands of lives, shows how humans, in the world of advanced technology, still so vulnerable to mother nature.<br /><br />Cheers, Harmony Owharmony2828https://www.blogger.com/profile/02207299951090617932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7570244272086409102.post-91165692750904626992010-01-17T23:57:50.451-08:002010-01-17T23:57:50.451-08:00pictures do tell a thousand words...it is hearteni...pictures do tell a thousand words...it is heartening to know that there are still many of us who still empathises with the more unfortunate in today's materialistic world.<br /><br />Thank you for sharing and bring senses to our "perfect" world.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10606071070648778130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7570244272086409102.post-7505530945385328942010-01-17T23:19:34.879-08:002010-01-17T23:19:34.879-08:00Thanks for sharing about the Haitian Earthquake.

I'd like to say that you also have a knack of writing emotively which can be a great combination for an inspiring career in the years to come. <br /><br />These selected photographs are indeed heartwrenching and it gives us a realisation to how lucky we are today.
