Watching the news as Hurricanes Hanna and Ike slammed into Haiti brought back some memories of the people I photographed there during the 2004 political crisis. Those memories and emotions inspired a personal essay about my short time in Haiti and the way journalists approach stories during conflicts.

The Poynter Institute published the essay, Witness to Human Suffering, Natural and Man-Made, along with one of my images from Haiti, on October 1, 2008.
