Burma Cyclone Nargis Images

Hi all,
I uploaded some of my images of the Cyclone Nargis aftermath into an LS gallery. The link is here:

http://www.lightstalkers.org/galleries/slideshow/12886

Warning: A couple of the photographs show bodies, and are quite graphic.

I debated quite awhile about whether or not to actually include one of the pictures (due mostly to a previous discussion on the topic), but in the end I decided the picture (#15) belongs in the story.

I will appreciate any feedback on the essay.

Cheers,

Will
