EDITORS COMMENTS
In this powerful print captured by Kimimasa Mayama, a man fearlessly crosses over the Neelum River on a collapsed bridge at the Neelum Valley outside Muzaffarabad, the capital of Pakistani Kashmir. The image was taken on October 30,2005, during a time of immense devastation caused by an earthquake in the region. The photograph serves as a stark reminder of the resilience and determination displayed by individuals in times of crisis. Despite facing unimaginable challenges and dangers, this brave man takes every step with unwavering courage to reach his destination. The significance of this moment is further highlighted by the United Nations' acknowledgment and appreciation for India and Pakistan's agreement to open their Kashmir border for earthquake survivors and relief supplies. However, it also sheds light on the logistical nightmare faced in delivering aid to millions affected by the disaster. Kimimasa Mayama's lens captures not only an individual crossing a river but also symbolizes hope amidst despair. It reminds us that even when bridges collapse—both literally and metaphorically—humanity finds ways to overcome obstacles and forge ahead towards brighter horizons. This poignant image stands as a testament to human strength, unity, and our innate ability to rise above adversity in pursuit of better days.
