A final embrace

In case you've been too busy buying necklaces in support of Boston, there was a garment factory explosion in Bangladesh. Killing more than 750. Life's reduced to numbers in an article. Read the story here.


“This image, while deeply disturbing, is also hauntingly beautiful. An embrace in death, its tenderness rises above the rubble to touch us where we are most vulnerable. By making it personal, it refuses to let go. This is a photograph that will torment us in our dreams. Quietly it tells us. Never again.”
- Shahidul Alam, Bangladeshi photographer
