This photograph was taken May 22nd, 2012 on the 1-year anniversary of the storm. Despite the President’s visit to the area and the "Walk of Unity" that occurred that morning, the city is still, one year later, struggling to recover. By chance I came upon what looked like a child’s doll beside a home without walls still standing next to the wreckage of the old Joplin High School, and for me it captured better than any panorama the mixture of sadness, loss and, somehow, hope left behind in the tornado’s aftermath.
