Former United Nations photographer John Isaac has travelled to many war-torn regions and refugee camps during his career, showing the world the suffering that famine and disease can bring. This summer, he visited Rikuzentakata, a town in Iwate Prefecture that was devastated by the Great East Japan Earthquake. He found destruction and desolation, of course.
