Will my bodyguard as we waited for a parade in Leogane which was at the epi-centre of the Jan 2010 earthquake. The parade was fantastic telling a potted history of Haiti. Having seen more than my fair share of parades here in Norn Iron i’d say that this was the best parade i’ve ever seen. Artistically well done and a little cheeky making it all the more fun. The choreographer kept himself busy jumping in and out of the parade to correct peoples positions and to ensure they were doing what they practised.  Bloody great so it was so it was View high resolution

Panorama Camera Centre 124 West 30th Street. Simi does the repairs and his wife does the phone and sales. I spent about an hour here and a bit of money on a couple of sub miniature cameras. The place is like a camera boneyard with hundreds of cameras in various states of assembly as Simi uses them for spares. If you are in town i’d take a dander and go up to the 3rd floor to have a rummage. View high resolution

Taken in Marigot Market nr Jacmel southern Haiti. And what a city NY is. Sad to have left, glad to have been and looking forward to my next exploration of the city. I might even go up the Empire State or the Chrysler building or the Rockerfeller tower. Or even make it to the Guggenhein or MoMa, visit ground zero and see the Statue of Liberty but i had such a good time on the street that i just enjoyed that. It was liberating to be able to go moochin and do what i wanted after only being able to move around Haiti with a bodyguard and driver and having to plan things for the near 3 weeks i was there. I’m looking forward to a return to Haiti to fill some obvious gaps in my coverage of the issues facing the country and pursue other not so apparent threads of interest that the next few weeks of editing will inevitably reveal. So much to see and do, it will keep….. View high resolution
