a949: Source of online images needed (fwd)



From: amedard@gte.net

I'm giving a presentation soon, and would like to present some images in that
presentation.  I'm wondering if anyone might be able to direct me to online sources
that exemplify the slides ... like typical gestures  used while talking, examples of
social contrasts, medical clinics, the Haitian "people"'s daily life, like of

        o the marchand carrying her veggies, the farmer working the fields (hard
          work), the maid cleaning the house, etc. vs. bourgeois at work
        o the marche (the wide variety of foods/merchandise available; meat or other
          foods contaminated by flies) vs. some of the bourgeois' stores,
        o the peoples' bourlettes vs. the bourgeois' big banks
        o overflowing tap-taps and having to share beds (personal space public zone
          and increased opportunities for spread of disease),
        o erosion,
        o fishing,
        o modern conveniences for the bourgeois (generators, inverters, internet
          cafe, Mercedes/Range Rovers/etc) vs. donkey; etc.
        o machetes and bare electrical wires and political violence (i.e., that which
          represent health dangers from physical injury, mental trauma and also
          represent why there is a risk of becoming numb or used to violent acts like
          those committed against Sylvio Claude and victims of Pere Lebrun),
        o voudou pix and Catholic church pix and missionaries,
        o school kids in uniforms; the 'people's small schools vs. photos of, say,
          Union School
        o dominoes and maybe pix of the kids rolling those iron rings around with a
          stick for the 'people''s play and night clubs/Club Med (or the
          like)/Petionville Club/JoTac, etc. for the bourgeois' play,
        o photos of Haitian food (things Americans don't generally eat like goat,
          lambi, etc.; and then photos of typical rice and beans, mais moulu that the
          people eat)
        o maybe photos of Jean Claude's wedding and photos of peasants' 'wedding'
        o etc.
        o oh ya, and maybe some historical photos representing slavery and rebellion.
