Why We Were There

Why We Were There

I like the contrast of dark and light in this shot – you’re looking

from an alleyway past some still-standing houses, into a zone where a

few houses were all destroyed by the floods. This is close to the

school that served as our staging and storage area for the project.

Later on, you’ll see a few more shots of houses destroyed in Tonghe

Township, which is the administrative center for the towns and

villages we worked with.
