Hello everyone, I wanted to bring to you attention the massive earthquake
that occurred last week in Peru, south of Lima. The places I used to
photograph have been seriously affected if not completely destroyed. If you
reach my web page you can see them in original condition at
http://www.ewongbusiness.com/mc and select either "Paracas 1", "Paracas 2",
"The south" or "Haciendas".
Also, this natural formation

and now looks like this

Anyway, these are only natural destruction. Most affected are the thousands
of people who has lost everything (some strong images can be seen at
http://www.ewongbusiness.com/mc/earthquake/earthquake.ppt) and thankfully
the response all over has been overwhelming. However, there will never be
too much help, so I make a call to your senses to give help thru any of the
international fundations (I found these thru google
http://www.google.com.pe/search?hl=es&q=international+earthquake+aid+peru&btnG=Buscar).
I wanted to give postcards back to all those that gave some donations, but
snail mail would eat resources that I prefer to donate. If you ask I can
post links to high resolution images that you can print for yourself.
