Photo by @alisonwrightphoto // Woman with blue eyes in Port-au-Prince, Haiti.
I was on assignment for @smithsonianmagazine photographing the destroyed art after the earthquake in Haiti. Having previously covered the disaster, the destruction of so many thousands of paintings and sculptures was a whole new sadness I hadn’t realized during my initial visit. I had been photographing in a gallery and this woman passed me by just as I was leaving. Her beauty among such devastation was like seeing a lotus flower blossom from the mud.
