Lancaster Tragedy
I gave a lot of thought to the tragic events that occurred in the Amish community of Lancaster County, Pa. The contrast of such violence in such an idyllic setting is staggering.
The event received blanket coverage, and I saw many images move across the wires, but the image that I selected to include in this week's gallery seemed to me to capture the intrusion of the outside world on this insular community as the two Amish gentleman look up at a departing medevac helicopter with police crime scene tape behind them.
As a father of two daughters, it breaks my heart to imagine the horror of what happened inside that schoolhouse.

I think that in this image that these two men are saying to God Where are you Father how could something like this happen here. here is like being close to heaven.
The coverage was unique in that it showed a peaceful and loving family torn apart by such unprovoked tragedy and the forgivness that they were willing to give. There is too much evil in the world and too little love and forgivness. It was the forgivness that was unique, which is not always portrayed in the media
