Haiti. I got the call just two and a half weeks before we left. Seth Johnson rang me up and told me he couldn’t get me off his mind. He was going to Haiti with a friend, and thought I might want to join them. I told him I’d think about it. Haiti is not...
Thank you, Rebecca. I’m glad you enjoyed the photographs of Haiti. And I’m glad you enjoyed your time there. I think Mission Haiti is a wonderful group of people!
I just finished looking at your pictures and narrative and am amazed at how the experience of traveling to Haiti touches each of us in the same way. I traveled with Ronna, the last person that commented on your blog, and 9 other Americans on a journey to Mission Haiti this October. It was fabulous. I tried to capture the experience on my camera….love the pictures….but they are not quite as stunning as yours! You captured the experience beautifully! Thank you for sharing your stunning photos. (We did medical clinics, VBS, spent time at the orphanage and with the youth group. I also did some education for two deaf children and their families in the area.)
Wonderful, Ronna. What were you doing in Ti Riviere?
Your pictures are amazing! I just returned from TiRiviere myself and really enjoyed reading about your experience there. Thanks for sharing!
Your Photo’s and your words are truly wonderful.
Thanks, Andie. You do some beautiful work yourself!
these are SO beautiful. I especially like the one with the honda motorbike in the foreground, the one with the man in the rain with the bananas and the classroom one with the backlight. Super.
Fritz – Hello, this is Mara Cole, Cory Grimm’s sister. Your blog entry is truly moving and your photos are stunning. Thank you for sharing! What an incredible journey and mission.
I just love to photograph children, and have from the very beginning of my interest in photography. Among the many assignments and adventures I’ve had in Nicaragua, I’ve often had opportunity to turn my lens on many children. (One of the striking features of some people here in Latin America is their light-colored, often green...
Abraham and his family and staff continue to welcome me with open arms to their coffee beneficio here in Esteli, and I continue to be enchanted by the beautiful light, the rustic building, and the hard-working team. And so I continue with my photo essay (view the previous post here), a bit of visual poetry...

I spent an afternoon on a local tobacco farm, during harvest, here in Esteli, Nicaragua. While I’m not a proponent of smoking, nonetheless tobacco farming and cigar manufacturing are major enterprises here, and are worthy of investigation. Esteli creates a major part of the cigars manufactured in the world, and grows a rich variety of...

All I have to say is thanks…
Wow! I never knew tobacco could be beautiful… excellent work!
Tucked away in a barrio in Esteli, Nicaragua, on the edge of a dry, dusty stream bed, is the family-owned coffee processing company of Abraham Enrique Castillo, Beneficio Centro America. It’s not a large facility, although at one time it was twice its current size, before their land was seized and inhabited by others. Nor...

I have been browsing through this site and the photos are amazing. I know a lot of people that would pay a nice price for some of these pictures. Have you ever thought of putting a gig on fiverr.com to get your photos under the people. That would pay off without a doubt.
Great work, I love it.
All the best and all success
