Leogane, Haiti

Hard not to think about Haiti this week. I was there just shy of three years ago. In addition for the past few months I've been reprinting my Holy Week and Easter images. Last night, I slowly went through all the negatives and contact sheets from that trip. I'm still waiting to hear from my guides there, and still hoping for the best.

Port-au-Prince, Haiti

PaP is up against construction like the above. I took it from my hotel window. Lots of pour concrete buildings, cynderblock buildings -- exposed steel rebar up top. the people were consistantly hopeful for adding on to their homes up top.

Souvenance, Haiti

Little shacks one story high, narrow doorways. My guide lived in one of these houses. In the background is his brother.


Port-au-Prince, Haiti

Maybe in a few months, I can think to the best part of Haiti -- the celebrations.

cairo, egypt.

tail end of my egypt trip last year, counting down the days. mm-drc and nzzzz had already left. i spent the day hang around with m-barule through khan-il-khaleli taking random pictures.

though a nice picture, this was one of the hardest things i ever printed taking over thirty sheets of paper.
