Natural disasters are tragic for many reasons. Assuming, most importantly, that you and your loved ones come through one such disaster healthy, you immediately begin the process of putting your life back together. And even though top priorities are probably your home, cars, critical documents, and so on, those things are replaceable; the photos that may have also been damaged or destroyed are not.
Operation Photo Rescue is an organization that understands this, and its volunteers want to do everything in their power to help.
A couple of months after a natural disaster hits a region, OPR will go and set up shop in the area for a few days, offering free photo restoration. The volunteers of OPR are a mix of professional photojournalists, amateur digital photographers, graphic designers, image restoration artists and others, all of whom contribute what they can to the process.
