Amidst the all the coverage of Haiti, I have found the interviews and words of photojournalists (eg. Damon Winter; Melissa Lyttle) FAR more interesting and informing than the images.
What an essential privilege to hear Haitian photographer Daniel Morel speak about not only his placement during the earthquake, but also the behaviour of the media, the complaints of Haitians toward said media and where he and Haiti go from here.
If I am going to put weight on any opinion it is Morel‘s.

My friend and colleague Daniel Morel is an anchor in the world of photography and above all in creating visual images of his country, Haiti, and the Haitian People. The task right before us is immense. With dedication, empathy, respect for the subject, courage, creativity, skill, and craftspeople such as Morel, the task also is doable.
