The exceptional possibility of photography to interpret unprocess mundane encounters of our short-lived experiences. 

Arcahaie is also known for Plantain production. It is estimated that 60% of the agricultural land is devoted to the production of the tastiest plantains in Haiti

Ignoring the plight of the poor - hundreds of thousands of Haiti residents still live in inadequate sub-standard informal housing. The government's inability to bring urgently needed relief, the plundering of state coffers, the lack of planning, the incapacity to find finance/capital to jump start the nation's economy is looking growingly hopeless— It has been reported because of Haiti’s worsening economic situation, over 125,000 young people  left for Chile out of desparation  in search of work over the past 18 months.

Beautiful morning up in Fermathe, Haiti - overcast, very suitable to make images.
