Unexpected

We were already in Moron but about a quarter of a mile to reach the property to be surveyed. It wasn’t a trip (from Jérémie) to continue photo documenting the Grand’Anse which I was hired for. Because of the unpaved and dusty road we had to roll up the truck windows so I wasn’t paying much attention to my surroundings until we came to a full stop because of a deep drop off on the road. And there they were, a few children playing on a pipirit. I quickly shot a few frames before they became conscious they were being photographed.

It's still safe to travel throughout the Grand'Anse

Grand’Anse, Haiti - Following last night warning to Americans by the U.S. State Department against traveling to Haiti, I made phone calls to different regions in the Grand’Anse and my friends reassured me it was totally safe to travel to any parts of the Grand’Anse and asked me when I was coming again. I consider the Grand’Anse home even though I wasn’t born there.
