Dear Artists & Humanitarians

THE HAITIAN WORKING CLASS
by Hugeaux

On my visit to Port au Prince in the summer of 2009, I had the rarity of photographing my friend Mr. Guyto's bread factory. The factory runs solely on a generator. Due to the earthquake the factory may no longer exist, however it is not in it's original condition. These rare photographs capture apart of the Haitian's working class. The Haitian community is a vibrant and healthy community. Before 6:00am the streets are full with people going to work.


Here is an exerpt from my Haitian Diaries:

August 18
Tuesday / Mardi

" After breakfast Mr. Guyto invited me to his boulangerie (bakery). He mentioned he wanted me to photograph his boulangerie. It was incredible and very hot. We passed through his rifle carrying security guard to his factory. He produces bread for some of the vender of Port au Prince to sell to the people of Port au Prince. He asked me to photograph his bread factory and employees. He has over 30 people working here and it is very, very, hot. I photographed where they kneaded the bread, the dough, the baking oven, the rising room, the generator ..etc. The factory is in production 24 hours and has shift workers. The factory doesn’t run on electricity, but my a gas generator.
