 I shot the aftermath of the tornado for the paper.

6/2/2007 Fruitland, IA - A Suburban is parked near a home that was completely ruined when a tornado touched down in Fruitland, Iowa on June 1, 2007. While many Iowans lost their homes to the twister others next door and in surrounding areas were completely untouched.

This photo shows true desolation, and how lives are ruined in just a fast moment.

Nice Idea, powerful message.

Image is too dark. It would deliver message better if lighting was better.

The horizon appears to be crooked.... Good question though, "why?"

I am not a good photographer, I do not claim to be better than anyone, any criticism is meant to be constructive criticism......

I hope this isn't your home. If it is, I am thankful you made it out alive and will be praying for you.
