![Getty photographer Chris Hondros died yesterday in Libya. A huge loss to the photojournalism community, and to the tiny community in which I participate (not as often as I’d like), BAGnewsNotes and its BAGnewsSalon. Chris joined in on a salon about the Haiti earthquake, and we spent a lot of time discussing his photo above, taken on January 16, 2010 after the quake. We talked about its haunting and tragic qualities, the way it captured the scope of the loss and devastation. More images from Chris’s remarkable career here and here.

Caption: TITANYEN, HAITI – JANUARY 18: (Editor’s Note: Graphic Content) Dead bodies from this week’s devastating earthquake lie in a pile January 16, 2010 in Titanyen, Haiti. Officials, overwhelmed by the thousands of dead from the 7.0 strong earthquake on January 12 earthquake, have resorted to burying the corpses without ceremony in hastily-dug pits in a rural area outside of Port-au-Prince.
