THE BEAUTY IN THE HORRIFIC DISASTER

The world always seems to captivate me, it seems so uncontrollable and so powerful yet we all live our lives here and probably fail to notice it every day. After coming across the pulitzer prize winning photographer Patrick Farrell I found images which show the sheer beauty in the countries which have suffered the pain. There is a sense of togetherness which I can feel just from looking at these images, a sense that life is perhaps more appreciated in devastation than at any other point of life. Many people I know wouldn't cry whilst having their photograph taken, we are perhaps more materialistic and unappreciative of life.
Patrick Farrell encapsulates the beauty and the devastation all in one image.

This young girl finds the strength to be happy within all of the devastation which surrounds her, the amazing thing is that she probably doesnt even know how strong that actually makes her.
