Earthquake Photos of Japan

At first, it is was difficult to locate good photographs of the recent Japan earthquake and the tsunami aftermath. Today, however, powerful photographs blanket the web. Regardless, I wanted to post a few images which moved me the most and seem to express the devastation best. I've searched the web and made a compilation of earthquake disaster photographs here for you. Where credit was offered, I have listed it below each image.
