5537: RE: 5514 (fwd)
From: archim <archim@globelsud.net>
Several years ago, during the Cedras coup, a NYC photographer came to
take photos of our church and school, and then asked me to take him
driving so he could take other photos. I complied in order to be
accomodating. This photographer (a professional) had me stop in the
middle of Grand Rue so that he could take photos of people picking
through the garbage piles in the street. He had me drive him to Cite
Soliel so that he could photograph children going to the toilet in the
fields. He got a beautiful photo (prize-winning) of a young man
snorting coke in an alleyway. He took photos of two goats having sex
in front of the Roman Catholic cathedral! He had another prize-winning
photo of a poor mother with an emaciated baby in her arms.
Needless to say, I took him back to his hotel toute suite, but not
quickly enough to keep him from going back to NYC with those photos
and publishing them in a well-known magazine. He made lots of money.
The kids are still going to the toilet in the field in Cite Soliel,
and people are still picking through the garbage everywhere.
No further comments necessary!
