Remember Haiti

From photographer Ryan Booth on Scott Kelby's blog about his current trip in Haiti: "I say all of this only to remind us that in so many parts of the world tonight families will sleep on the ground without shelter. For many, clean water is a rarity at best. Many are hungry. Many are sick. The world is an impossibly beautiful place and photography is such a conduit to truly seeing that beauty. But the truth is that when you really start to see, and I mean really, really open your eyes to the world around you, you find dichotomy. Beauty and suffering seem to co-mingle. I only bring this up so that we may not forget the silent majority in this world that lack even the most basic of elements. Water. Food. Shelter." While Pakistan is in the news, and we've moved on from Haiti, it's important to remember that so many people in the world are suffering even as we deal with our brief (2-3 days) losses of power and suffer only traffic jams caused by flooding.
