HAITI UPDATE: Spent the first half of the day in Cité Soleil. Came across a baby whose face and body had been very badly burned and had infection. We took her and her mother to the hospital (Medishare – UofMiami) with the help of Nicole from @globaldirt and Billy.

HAITI UPDATE: What a day it has been. We spent most of it in a place called Leagone which is close to an hour outside of Port Au Prince and the town hit hardest by the quake. It was a remarkable trip. Unforgettable and informative. In addition to filming the trip I am shooting photographs for an upcoming book that I am releasing to raise much needed money for Haiti. On top of a detailed written account of this experience and the recollections of the time I spent here as kid the first two photographs I shot are a good example of what will be in the book. It will not only look at the devastating tragedy of last january but will celebrate the beauty and possibilities of this country and its people.
