Recomiendo que lean esta entrevista con el fotógrafo hatiano Daniel Morel (está en inglés). También miren sus fotos del primer día después del terremoto el 12 de enero del 2010.
I recommend reading the following interview by Haitian photographer Daniel Morel. Some of his photos of the aftermath of the earthquake in Port-au-Prince on January 12, 2010 can also be seen.

He brings up the following issues:
-photojournalism focused on what is happening on the ground, giving people's voices an outlet (that's what the field should be focused on, right?)
-international journalists coming in to do "show business" journalism
-the way in which documenting what has happened instead of lending a hand, for example, can also be of big help (I am conflicted with this point, since my instincts would be to help first, shoot later, although there may never be a moment to focus on either thing fully. When does a photographer cross a line? Are photojournalists treated with more leniency for inserting themselves in other people's lives?
