It's just freaky coincidental that I won the contest around the same time I planned to post this essay. :crazy:

1. Another great though heart wrenching

job with both your pictures and words. Very different in some ways from the first one, but just as poignant and well done.

2. Yeah, it's a bit more jaded than the last one.

But that's just my getting used to the scenery, I guess. :(

3. It doesn't come off as jaded, maybe

a bit exasperated but I would say with good reason there. Nothing at all jaded about it.

4. Oh, good.

It was just jaded in my own head! :) At least it wasn't sarcastic, like my first attempt to write it. That's what I was struggling with, and I did rewrite the tone of it today before I posted it.

5. ITF, your photo essay is gripping...

It's just criminal that conditions are still so bad down there with hurricane season so soon to be upon us again. I am very fearful of what new tragedies this summer will bring.
