10 Years Later
In March 2011 a devastating tsunami struck Japan, killing 20,000 people and leaving half a million homeless. Photographer Munemasa Takahashi's Lost & Found Project grew out of a volunteer effort to gather and preserve family photographs scattered among the debris in hopes of returning them to their owners. Memory Salvage digitized more than 750,000 images, and more than 460,000 have made their way back to their owners. The damage to the photographs highlights the level of devastation wrought by the disaster.
