  • About a year ago, my husband started getting Facebook friend invitations from every girl he ever went to school with.

    And it seemed as if half of them confessed crushes on him. These were girls frozen in his memory with teenaged breasts, AP English minds, and a sense that anything was possible. Like this one girl from seventh grade. She friended my husband on Facebook and then reminisced about the day his family moved away. She had put on her favorite dress, painted her nails purple, and worked up all her courage to hug him good-bye. “Isn’t that SO funny,” she wrote, “How silly we are as kids.”

    Words can tell a story, describe emotions, and explain the facts, but they can never replace a powerful moment captured in a photograph. Compelling images offer a window into people’s lives, often depicting their reality with a unique perspective. For more than 30 years, MSF has sent photographers into its projects to document both MSF’s work and the people we are trying to assist. This is a collection of some of their best work, including images from award-winning photographers, both independent and affiliated with international newswires and photo agencies.

    The MSF photo blog will be providing an daily image from our current work and archives, in an effort to make these exceptional images available to the public. We will draw from three decades of material in the many countries where we have worked, or work today.
