Here's a collection of pictures I took while in Haiti from January 11th to the 18th. The photos were taken at the "Eglise Evangelique des Pelerins", (the same building our crew used as our base during that visit), in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, amid a Sunday mass. The crowd was so large that a good part of the faithful had to sit outside the temple and just listen in silence while most of the kids were running around, just being genuine children. I don't consider myself a believer of religions but I am a believer of God and faith, and at that very moment I deeply appreciated the fervor, resilience, strength and faith of the Haitian people. This was not only something touching for me but also fascinating to look at, considering the hardships these human beings are going through.
I took my Canon 7D along with a couple of Holgas, and with a big grin in my face I started sneaking around, inviting the children to just look at the lens; the results were touching as you can see, the children? so humble and sweet! - so happy to pose for the camera while looking at the results immediately, what a joy!. God bless them!
