Seeing it in person

Mark Welsh, senior staff photographer: Photographers first on the scene of the Jan. 12, 2010, earthquake in Haiti captured images that set a worldwide humanitarian effort in motion. Visiting Haiti a year later, I saw and heard many terrible stories of devastation, loss and failed attempts at recovery. But I also saw first hand the dedication of suburban men and women who work every day in this broken nation to help the earthquake’s victims. I’m glad I was there to see that in Haiti. The story is not over.
