Orphaned Photos Find Owners In Tsunami-Ravaged Town


Last year’s earthquake and resulting tsunami in Japan left countless individuals separated from their possessions, including family photos. The Japanese town of Ofunato has set up a hub where people can come to search through piles of salvaged pictures with the hope of finding their own.
