Oh,man, that is one sad, and touching photo. What really tears at me are the marks on the soil between the graves...those are the marks from the teeth on the bucket of a backhoe or bobcat...they had so,so many people to bury that they had to dig and compact the graves with heavy equipment...man, that is depressing.

Well said, Derrel. A tragic image.

When I first saw it, it brought tears to my eyes. Everytime I look at it, it still brings tears to my eyes.

Yup a very sad photo. And it is a story telling photo.

Remind me of a movie I saw recently - Hachi (based on true story)
Hachi: A Dog's Tale (2009) - IMDb

Love the feeling of the dog staying by the grave.

Yea, its an extremely moving picture. Most definitely the type of photo that will possibly never be captured again. Crazy thing about it is, that its a photo that YOU DON'T WANT TO BE CAPTURED AGAIN.

I'm from Louisiana, saw I was able to see what Katrina did 1st hand. Since Katrina was in the US, it was fully captured and talked about to great extents. What some people don't understand is that these types of tragedies occur more often in poverty stricken places. Sadly, they don't have the resources for crisis management and the death per capita is just terrible. We are so very lucky, and some have no clue.

Can we disconnect for a second and just look at the image with out the story. I have seen better images just today. More moving. I am not going to say this is a bad image but I am not sure if the story is way more important than this image.


Now the story I completely agree and they have my sympathy and prayers. But the image is not what gets me there.?

JUST ONE MANS OPINION. Please dont kill me!!!!

Is this a powerful photo? in technical terms, I don't think so. Actually, I suspect that this was not taken by the photographer with the intention to have it artistically composed. It looked like it was taken so that the news agency has something to show regarding the story.
