I am in New York
I haven’t written on my blog for a long time. As I told you in my last post, I moved back to Belgium by the end of February. On the 19th carnival started and I took pictures there. It was a pity that I got ill on Friday until Sunday, so they only days I could take pictures were Thursday and Monday. I will upload them soon to my archive.
After carnival I went to Paris for a day to show my portfolio to the editor of National Geographic France. I got up at 5 in the morning, took the train and the bus and arrived at 12h30 in Paris. I left Paris again at 17h, so it was a really short trip 
On the 4th I left Belgium for London. On the 5th I had an appointment with the Observer, which was really good. I also took the chance to see some friends again before I leave for 2 months. On Friday I took the plane to fly to New York. When I landed I went straight to the office of Glamour magazine. They are interested in publishing a story about the things I’m doing in Haiti.
On Saturday I had an appointment with the New York Times. There is a chance that I have to shoot something for them when I am in Haiti. After the meeting I met Mo, who is a Haitian living in New York. He took me to one of the 2 Haitian communities in New York, as I am planning to work on a reportage about Haitians living outside their own country. Here are a few pictures I took on Saturday.
I have some more appointments today with a Haitian girl, on Tuesday (with Getty images) and a Haitian girl and on Wednesday with Time magazine.
On Thursday morning I will leave New York to go to Haiti where I will stay until the 24th of April. I will write blog-posts about what I am doing there as much as possible.

hi there!
Safe travels first! I have been following your work since I first came across you on your last trip to Haiti. i have been there once and loved it and am planning on going back this fall for an extended time. i will be following and it sounds like you have a lot of interest in your Haiti work, a country that seems to not get much attention here in the states. I’m happy for that!
Ronnie
