EDITORS COMMENTS
In this poignant print captured by Shannon Stapleton, a cross stands tall amidst the burial site for victims of the devastating cholera epidemic on the outskirts of Port-au-Prince. The image, taken on March 21,2011, serves as a somber reminder of the immense toll that this deadly disease has taken on Haiti's population. The close-up shot reveals intricate details of the cross shape carved into stone, serving as a powerful religious symbol in this serene and beautiful yet tragic setting. As we gaze upon the victim's final resting place, surrounded by lush green grass and set against a hilly backdrop, we are reminded of both nature's resilience and mankind's vulnerability. Stapleton skillfully captures not only the aftermath but also conveys an atmospheric sense of loss and sorrow through his creative use of lighting and composition. The absence of people allows us to reflect upon the magnitude of this catastrophe that claimed more than 4,500 lives since mid-October. This photograph serves as a testament to human suffering while simultaneously highlighting our capacity for hope and strength in times of adversity. It is an evocative portrayal that prompts us to remember those who have been lost while urging us to work towards preventing such tragedies in the future.
