I’ve finally finished my photos and slideshow from my trip to Haiti, thanks to “Soundslides,” which is a powerful program for documentary photographers who want to share their work with the world. Click on the link below which will take you to the slideshow and then you can watch it full screen, toggle the sound, watch it with or without captions, and navigate through the individual images.

Click here for the slideshow.  And spread it around, friends– let’s let these people’s voices be heard!

Here’s what I wrote to go along with the slideshow:

I did not go to Haiti with any specific expectations. However, the six days I spent there transformed me both as a photographer and as a person.

As so often happens on trips of this nature, the Haitian people did far more for me than I could ever have done for them.

I have few words to share that would express what these images mean to me, but I hope they can be ones that represent a great sorrow that ultimately points to a far greater hope.

Haiti was once referred to as “The Pearl of the West Indies.” It’s people are strong and beautiful– and though they have seen so much suffering, I hope that it will refine them and teach them to build, and rebuild. The country of Haiti is still a great Pearl, seemingly delicate as the child I watched emerge from the womb in a tent in Port au Prince, but like that child they are filled with a vibrant future that is yet unwritten.

And I greatly anticipate a better story for them all.
