Haiti Through The Lens of U.S. Air Force Photographers

A few Images taken during the Haiti relief efforts viewed through the lens of U.S. Air Force photographers. Most of the images tell the hopeful side of the story. They'll lift the spirit a bit and they show human resilience. Visit the U.S. Air Force photo gallery to view the entire ongoing documentation.

"Bundles of food and water are delivered Jan. 23, 2010, to the outlying area of Port-au-Prince, Haiti. Approximately 14,000 bottles of water and 14,500 meals, Ready to Eat were included in the air delivery."
Top three images are all U.S. Air Force photos by Tech. Sgt. James L. Harper Jr.

I loved your blog and I'd like to let you know about a painting that I did earlier this year.
My art is related to environmental issues like the earthquake at Haiti.
This painting was based on the first image of this post and is named "USA helps Haiti after earthquake"

I also am pleased to invite you to know some of my other artworks at my website: quim.com.br
