So my first days in Haiti have actually been highly political, with protests and manifestations against the rigged election results called Tuesday, placing Jude Celestin in the the top two candidates. Celestin is the predecessor for the Rene Preval and the current ruling party and people are very disgruntled about the poor management off the Jan 12 earthquake crisis under this government. So despite my intentions to not cover daily news, I have been asked by my Agency in Europe to distribute to them, and I have been shooting the political unrest in the streets. It's also become clear to me, that this is an integral part of Haitian culture and it needs to be included in my story. So here are somepics of burning tyres and civil unrest........Of course the things I said I wouldn't do!
