Lost and Found Project - photographs swept away by the tsunami

#1
I thought users here might be interested to hear about this, an exhibition of photographs that were salvaged in the aftermath of the 2011 tsunami. Here's the website for the project:

And here's the post (on another site I use) where I first heard about it, you can see the photographs more clearly in her pictures of the exhibition:

In some ways makes me feel a little uncomfortable to see them, because I worry if it's intrusive, but I do find it very moving, and hearing that people wanted to preserve the images, and that they worked so hard to return them to their original owners.
I hope it isn't too upsetting for anyone here, I recall following the news of the disaster with people here, many of whom were in Japan at the time.

the way some of the photos have been rendered more beautiful and interesting than they might have been to start with is powerful...
