Ayiti est la perle des Antilles
Haiti is the pearl of the Antilles

The more one knows about Haiti, the more complex everything may appear to be. Beyond all of the the apparent complexities live very many friendly, welcoming, and fascinating individuals in a society that is truly "vibrant."

I hope that my images of Haiti might show some of the beauty, dignity, respect, and honor of the Haitian people. Recognizing some of the global complexities that impact individuals in Haiti, I will work with any person or organization who would like to use my images to help Haiti.

I thank all who helped me create these images, I thank all the Haitians I have met for meeting me, I thank all who are in my photographs, and I thank all who help Haiti.

Honor and Respect:
    To all who come to this page, I offer you "Respé"
    On behalf of all I have photographed, I underline "Onè"

ps: Veuillez accepter, Messieurs et mes Dammes, mes sentiments les plus sincères dans toutes mes oevres, malgrès mon keyboard Anglais, mon ordinateur American, mon Créyol bricolé, et mon Francais Africain du niveau CM2. Je suis un Americain Africain, né dans un village Gbaya (au Cameroun), avec une peau blanche et un passport bleu. J'éssaye maintenant d'aider mes familles eloignées dans mes villages tropicales, tant que Dieu me permet. Apres les devoirs et a la fin des voyages, cet enfant d'Afrique devenu nomade globale aimerai re-ganger son village natal, si elle existe encore. Entre temps, gen ti moun yo bezwen manje.
