Takashi Momose, Faces of the Tsunami, Photos by Denis Rouvre (the New York Times)

Takashi Momose, 69 “After the tsunami, it was an eerie silence. I was living by myself, so I really appreciated when a welfare commissioner visited me with food. I tried to survive on the food I had at home because I was afraid to go out. ... I learned later that I had been depressed for four months after the earthquake.”
