Kids of Haiti

05-04-2010, 17:46

Just returned from a two week trip to La Gonave island off Haiti working alongside a medical team carrying out health checks and vaccinations on around 1200 kids. They dont speak much English, the stock phrases they mostly have are "Give me dollar!" and "Take my photo!" Great kids with great attitude considering all they have been through and how tough life is for them.

All shots Canon 30D with Canon 17mm - 85mm IS USM

Re: Kids of Haiti

These are gorgeous, so much life and energy to all of them.

Great set, Nos 4 &5 are my pick of an excellent bunch.

Well done

Concentrate on equipment and you'll take technically good photographs. Concentrate on seeing the light's magic colours and your images will stir the soul. - Jack Dykinga
Light makes photography. Embrace light. Admire it. Love it. But above all, know light. Know it for all you are worth, and you will know the key to photography- George Eastman
