AFTER THE EARTHQUAKE
**Entries after the major Port au Prince, Haiti earthquake on January 12, 2010**
January 14, 2010
In La Plaza of Port au Prince, Haiti, stood or is still standing, is a black marble monument with the words of the 1801 Constitution of the Republic of Haiti. I photographed this monument. It stands as the power and unity of Haiti. Today, the 1987 Constitution of the Republic of Haiti is a stronger reminder of the power and unity of Haiti. (Below is a copy of the Preamble of the 1987 Constitution of the Republic of Haiti (translated in English). The people of Haiti are a strong and loving people. I had the rare opportunity of photographing the people of Port au Prince, Haiti at their daily lives 4 months before the earthquake.
