Jeremie is well known for its bakeries.

Burning wood to produce charcoal. Jeremie is one of the last places left with a lot of trees and vegetation. But Haitians continue to cut it as they have no other way to make a living to survive.

People putting the finished charcoal into a ferry. There is no real road leading to Jeremie. The city is isolated from the rest of the country. People get transported through a ferry that goes to Port-au-Prince once a week.

The ferry is extremely overcrowded and has only 2 lifeboats.

    I really admire your Haiti photos. You must know the country very well by now.

    Alice,

    Your photos are wonderful. My husband and I go to Jeremie about every year. I felt like I was back home looking at your photos. What is your connection with Jeremie? Would like to know more.
