Boston.com Photo Essays

I found this picture in a photo essay on Hurricane Sandy recovery.  I chose it because I think it shows hope in a time of trouble.  These volunteer workers are hanging up a symbol of hope among wreckage.   3 volunteer workers are pictured here.  Something that might be missed at first glance is the expression of happiness on the workers' faces.  They are working in the wreckage of people's homes, but they look happy to be helping out.  The story this photo tells is that even after a horrible disaster, hope can be found.  This picture tells a story of three people who decided to make a difference.  This picture means that there is always hope because there are people out there willing to help.
