Bye bye Haiti, hello Miami and Eddie Adams Workshop
My time in Haiti is over. Yesterday I left the country (unfortunately my flight was canceled because of bad weather in Miami, so I had to wait 7 hours at the airport for the next one without having anything to drink, no more money and a Visacard that didnt work 
). But I still live and arrived good in Miami where some couchsurfing people (if you dont know the couchsurfing system, go and check it out: www.couchsurfing.org) came to pick me up. Miguel and Alex are wonderful people, I will stay with them until Tuesday. I am here in an appartment overlooking Miami and the ocean. Migi and Alex are Columbians and we had a great conversation this morning. I talked a lot about Haiti and the impressions that I took with me. It was quite hard in Haiti, but wonderful at the same time. Especially visiting the countryside together with Natacha and her friend Merlange was amazing. Seeing the people there living with nothing and yet they are so happy. We walked in the mountains for hours in the middle of Haitis beautiful nature. Another world than the city with all the slums… I could write for hours about my experiences in Haiti, but I don’t think anyone wants to read a really long text, so if you have questions, just ask me, write me an email or talk to me when I am back.
Another great news: I am accepted as a student for the Eddie Adams Workshop in October 2008! I am so happy! This will be a great opportunity to get to know many people of the business and other young photographers. http://www.eddieadamsworkshop.com/usr/usr-show/U0000lJBwMkpKm9k
“Explanation of the workshop: The Eddie Adams Workshop is an intense four-day gathering of the top professionals in photojournalism, along with 100 carefully selected students. The Workshop’s purpose is to create a forum in which an exchange of ideas, techniques, and philosophies can be shared between both established members and newcomers of the profession of picture journalism. The Workshop is tuition-free, and the 100 students are chosen based on the merit of their portfolios.” (source: http://www.eddieadamsworkshop.com/)
