Photographer Daniel Etter had been stunned with the response to his image, tweeting “I am overwhelmed by the reaction to this family’s tears of relief. This is why I do what I do.” The image depicts the raw emotion as a family finally reaches the safety of land. It is a reminder that those desperately seeking safety are people, just like us.
