Lac Megantic – One year later

I will remember where I was when I heard the tragic news of the Lac Megantic train disaster. One year ago tomorrow, I was in the hospital with my wife and premature twins when I heard of the sad news.

Maclean’s sent me to Lac Megantic to document and replicate iconic images from one year ago. Here are the photos. Maclean’s website has a great interactive slider of the same before and after images below. Check it out here:
