It's A Small World After All

This morning, I was sent to go shoot an interview with a local tsunami survivor. Turns out the survivor, Dwayne, grew up in the small town I live in. He went to the High School that my wife and brother-in-law did. In fact, he was on the baseball team with my brother-in-law.

The one thing that I noticed about him was that his eyes showed a "hollowness" that comes only with a great tragedy. You can tell he lived through some major happenings. Listening to his survival story is chilling. He's still in shock, and I can't really say that he might never get over it. (All apologies to Dr. Freud) I think a lot of survivors will be diagnosed as having post-traumatic stress syndrome.
