Dear Artists & Humanitarians

THE PEOPLE of HAITI
&
THE 1987 CONSTITUTION of the REPUBLIC of HAITI


In La Plaza of Port au Prince, Haiti, stood or is still standing, is a black marble monument with the words of the 1801 Constitution of the Republic of Haiti. I photographed this monument. It stands as the power and unity of Haiti. Today, the 1987 Constitution of the Republic of Haiti is a stronger reminder of the power and unity of Haiti. (Below is a copy of the Preamble of the 1987 Constitution of the Republic of Haiti (translated in English). The people of Haiti are a strong and loving people. I had the rare opportunity of photographing the people of Port au Prince, Haiti at their daily lives 4 months before the earthquake.



Here is an exerpt from my Haitian Diaries:
August 19, 2009
Wednesday / Mercredi
Final Day

" I continued to walk. Many children were out of school, due to summer and running along les rues and helping their families sell their products. I photographed several artisan at work. I photographed a tailor, who smiled and wave, but continue to work. I photographed a knife / machete sharpener. The sparks were flying everywhere. I photographed a furniture maker who didn’t look up but was intense in his craft. It is not 6:30 am and le soleil is hot and one of the best artisan photographs I photographed was a man pulling a cart of 2 huge basket, as if an oxen. The streets are crowded with people. Some of the fried foods smell good, however I have breakfast waiting for me at the hotel. At one point I found myself walking in a circle. It is funny, I now know how to get around The Capital. There are no street signs, so you must remember landmarks and marking. The Jean-Bertrand Aristide monument was my focal point. It is the highest of the monuments and can be spotted from various spots. This is truly a proud nation. Bon Jours! and Saluts! are present everywhere in the morning. "

PREAMBLE

The Haitian people proclaim this constitution in order to:
