In The Middle Of Nargis
Photographer James Whitlow Delano was in Burma when the cyclone struck:
Starting the next day, before the government excluded foreign eyes
and hands from heart of the disaster, Delano traveled to the Irrawaddy
Delta area. Leaving Yangon, he saw military troops clearing trees
rather than rushing toward the human crisis.The further he traveled the more bodies he saw and the fewer
government troops.
His black and white photographs capture something I haven't seen before: immediate terror and flight. The full series of photos is here. Some are hard to look at.
