Lennel shared this with me today, thought I'd share it with you guys. It's a photoessay that's beautifully done by a professional depicting the aftermath of the Chernobyl disaster, focusing on the children that were affected. (WARNING: Pictures depicted may be deemed disturbing to some. But in my opinion, it's fine. It's more saddening than anything) It would be a good, timely reminder of how we are often so engrossed with the seemingly important issues with life like education, material wealth and the pursuit of various ideals that we often become so disillusioned and upset when small, little things do not go our way.
This photo essay will speak more to us that anything I can think of right now I believe. Listen to the commentary by the creator (Paul Fusco, I'm assuming he narrated as well), he provides really fascinating and moving commentary along with the pretty well taken photos. Bear in mind these were children who were hit by the biological and radiological harm of the disaster at an age where they could hardly even discern the event in itself. They grew up to face the consequences and experience life in a way that was not meant to be, a life that could have promised just as much as the ones you and I have. Have a really insightful time!
