I feel it is most important for a picture to not only capture the emotions that are felt, but to also tell a story through the image. I think Barbara Davidson's photos accomplish both of these things.
Through her Wave of Destruction series, Davidson shows the pain and suffering these people went through after their homes were destroyed. When I look at these pictures, I feel like I can connect on some level with the pain these people feel.
While I have never lost a home, I have lost other things. It is the feeling of hopelessness that Davidson brings out in these people that allows so many to connect with them.
I believe these elements help to make these photos stronger.
