paul fusco

This afternoon my friend Anna posted a link on facebook to Magnum photographer Paul Fusco's powerful series on Chernobyl's horrifying legacy. Anna simply wrote that she felt "compelled to repost this link — my all time favorite photo essay. difficult to watch, but so so important."

It is indeed very tough to watch. But in light of what's possibly going on with the nuclear plants in Japan, we may have to consider the reality of this frightening issue all over again.







You can watch the narrated slide show here. Do keep in mind the images are graphic.
