Verslag uit Thailand
De Amerikaanse website Photo District Newswire vroeg aan fotojournalisten in het door de vloedgolf getroffen gebied verslag te doen van de moeilijke omstandigheden waaronder zij moeten werken.
Als eerste doet Peter van Agtmael (Polaris) zijn relaas:
It's very difficult to see the bodies and then see the posters with pictures of the missing plastered around town. Many of the pictures are crisp and in color. They show a young couple smiling on a beach, their arms around each other. A young German boy playing soccer next to his school portrait. A headshot of a beautiful Dutch girl, just discovered dead, is in at least 10 places around town. You start to associate all those bodies with the pictures on the posters you see most consistently, and it's a terrible feeling.
Physically and psychologically it's obviously a difficult story. I've been working 18-hour days and getting four hours of sleep a night if I'm lucky. It's incredibly hot during the day and that takes its toll, so it's very important to keep hydrated. Luckily it's so hectic that there isn't a lot of time to really reflect on all the horror. It can be very difficult to think of things like a good composition amidst all the madness.
