haiti

my brother david had been visiting haiti for years, & ended up starting a family there, with his new wife lucienne, her daughter nadia, and their baby daughter, the beautiful pamela roxanne.

david, lucienne, & roxy moved to USA in 2005, lived with me for a couple years, during which time emile alexandre joined the family; they are now in new orleans.

 

 here are a few of the hundreds of fotos i took during visits in february 03 & 04, while they were still living in haiti...
