Ayiti!

I don't know where to start. Haiti, even on a good day, is an exhaustive assault on the senses. Even on its worst, you know it's not the people of Haiti that are the problem.

I'm trying to find the words to describe being there for a week, covering the aftermath and the relief effort following the earthquake. There is an overwhelming amount of death permeating everything, but little signs of life that that give you a glimmer of hope. I'm still processing all that I saw and experienced, and am having a hard time finding the words for it all. So I'll just show a few pics for now, and hope they speak to the humanity of this tragedy, and why we should all care.
