More Thank you's!

Well, It was remiss of me not to mention my latest funders! I think I lost track of things when I was in Florida with the fever!

Big thank you's to Therese Muirhead, Jessica Connolly, Someone Anonymous, Lee Grant, Samantha Whitely and JD Ralley! Thank you for your support! It is really making all the difference. I can't wait to print my work and start sending it off to everyone! I'm getting very excited now, as I feel I am getting some really great images.

I've also changed my project description on my Indigogo Main Site to update where I am at with my project. It has evolved over time and I now feel I have found a story I am passionate about telling.

Recent work covering the political protests in Port Au Prince


Avid supported of Michelle Martelly (or Sweet Micky, a celebrity singer and comedian) at a political manifestation near Cite Soleil. Sweet Micky was supposedly the real second candidate and he is the most popular among the people of Port Au Prince. Rene Preval chose the 9 board member who announce the final count and it's believed that they placed Celestin - their party candidate in the top two over sweet Mickey despite clear indications during polling that Sweet Micky is one of the most popular candidates and Celestin is hugely unpopular.

The UN steps in on the borders of Port Au Prince where neighbouring camps are fighting over politics, each camp predominantly supporting different parties.
