Photographer’s Note
Unfortunade I forgot the name of this place. I remember I was in the border with the town of Pedernales Domincan Republic. This place is so interesting because to get to Pedernales in D.R there is a desert (I never relized D.R has a desert but the country has a desertic area too), in this place there is nothing for at list one hour, suddenly there is Pederrnales, the last city of the D.R in the border with Haiti. Here, one time week there is a market and they trader and sale close, food and other things. I have the chance to cross the bridge in a dry creek and I stay in this town for a few minutes. The first thing I saw was the UN area is like a frotress and very impressive. Latter this clinic, I saw this ladies and cath my attention the woman with the baby and I desired take some pictures very discret however I disturb a little the ambience and how you can see the other person saw me, but she does not say any, latter to walk in some streets I back to the D.R because I have a short permission to cross the border and my guide was pushing me to return.
I like the expression of this lady and I would like to spend more time in this amazing country I was like 45 minutes from Port au Prince but I did't knew, until the last day. I hope some day I will return

Olá Elias, parece ser um daqueles locais perdidos do planeta que me atraiem bastante. Gostei da tua história na nota. Acho que conseguiste uma bom retrato do dia a dia, embora eu fizesse uns cortes no enquadramento. Dá vontade de cortar à direita e em baixo aproximando a cena que interessa de nós e excluindo a zona exterior com a pessoa lá fora que está sobrexposta. A luz aqui dentro até está bastante boa. Ela está a olhar mas não parece incomodada, por isso é uma foto agradável de observar.
um abraço,
ricardo
p.s.- fiz um WS ;-)
p.s.1 - até acho que deves estar nos reflexos do vidro :)

Travelling in Haiti must a troubling experience. Seems so poor, so tough...
But you succeed in finding some colors despite it looks sad. A real daily life moment, well captured.
