Green stogie Photo

Photographer’s Note

This gentleman was pushing his machine up the sidewalk from Port au'prince to Petionville. He had what appeared to be a green cigar in his mouth.

I tried to post this yesterday and accidentally erased it and lost the information that went with it. I apologize for any inconvenience, I'm just learning how to do this.

I like the mood of this working person photo. I like how you captured him on the way to work, very relaxed with his green cigar. Very detailed picture. Nice work! Iris

Hello Allison,

Léonie

Very good composition. It makes me think strangly enough of a painting Jean-Michel basquiat could have done, if he was still alive and did realistic paintings. Basquiat was a Haitian dude living in NYC, friend of Andy Warhol and Keith Harring. His paintings (several thousands of dollars now) had pieces of grafitti, and written words here and there, with a face with black paint running down. An organized mess like your picture.
Haïti, and Haïtians are really unique.
