New President?



A common joke here is that Bill Clinton is actually Haiti's new president since he co-chairs the Interim Haiti Reconstruction Commission that is mandated to approve all reconstruction projects and funds. Bill is championing the garment assembly and tourism as the industries that will boost Haiti's economy.

I understand the market for cheap labor but who's in line to vacation in Haiti? These are actually both complex issues and for a good article by Alexis on the garment industry click here.

Yesterday Clinton held a press conference with the Minister of Health to discuss his foundations response to the cholera epidemic. He also mentioned approving funding for an industrial park...

Hmmm - he looks old. (Maybe trying to make things better in Haiti takes a toll.) Anyway, I would sign up to go to Haiti any day.

I don't have any intelligent comment about the presidental issues, but I love the way you use focus and depth of field in such an amazing way in these pictures. It's really fun to look at them. Awesome work, Ben : ) MED
