I was looking over my photos today and rediscovered this image from Haiti. I had split from my group and decided to take my Holga for a walk when i came upon this group of mausoleums. I observed the reddish-brown demarcation on the mausoleum where the flood waters had risen,…..when from nowhere this young boy, walked into the frame. I was relieved that he was not an apparition. This relief was based on my sense of rawness – from that sense of bearing witness to collective thirst, hunger, and misery. When we had arrived with our supplies we were not rushed upon as people had grown too weak… this was compounded by an eerie sense of quietude – as all the animals had either died in the flood or eaten to survive.
