Traditional Haitian Christmas decorations. These churches are each hand-made from cardboard and tissue paper, then illuminated with candles.


By the sea during Christmas week. This boy takes a break after a morning catching aransèl, salt-water fish.

Musicians on a mural inside Sainte Trinité, the Anglican Cathedral in Pòtoprens.

M. Thompson Ambroise has worked as a tourist guide in Pòtoprens since the 1950s, and has an enormous number of stories to tell about life in the city over the years. Unfortunately not many tourists come to Haiti these days, and times are hard.
