very intense. i've seen most of those pictures by themselves prior to this moment, but having them all together on this page... it's truly overwhelming.
probably many of us are going to feel slightly depressed about the situation of others and how bad circumstances may be at times, but we're all going to forget about that and just continue living our lives as we were, taking it for granted and such. but in the end, to have the short times where we do feel and sympathize as well as empathize for others is a grateful thing.

Her image was taken by photojournalist, Frank Fournier, shortly before she died. The image caused controversy due to the photographer's work and the Colombian government's inaction in working to prevent the Armero tragedy despite the forewarning that had been available, when it was published worldwide after the young girl's death.

Omayra Sánchez was a 13-year old victim of the Nevado del Ruiz volcano which erupted on November 13, 1985 in Armero, Colombia, causing massive lahars which killed nearly 25,000. She was trapped for 3 days in water, concrete, and other debris before she died.

and as for the rest.. well.. I really have no words... we've all seen at least the majority of them before. They serve their point. They make us think, and reflect.
