The poverty of Baseball in the tropics

no gloves baseballs bats here
makeshift everything

yet they produce some of the best baseball players of all time

The blind man and the neighbor next door- Slums of San Pedro

Boyfriend and girlfriend
'novios'
love blooms
everywhere
young love especially
though idyllic and over romanticized
sometimes it actually works out.......................
sometimes

Drunk passed out inebriated to the point of exhaustion
as a rooster keeps him company

Portrait of a local young boy
Haitian born
collecting water from the river/stream for his ablutions and cooking.
NORTH DOMINICAN REPUBLIC

Samana BAY

a french hotel
un chat boit de l'eau

the Silhouette of the sunsetting over Boca Chica Beach
a coconut merchant and a lone figure of a native boy along the shore on the beach.

Tomorrow he faces a fiercely hot unforgiving sun once again.

The sun sets
A mother celebrates her child
A nation beds down for the night
Tourists drink excessively
The ocean roars
the furious physician is caught in the middle of it all

The walk to school in the outer towns of the Dominican Republic

A school girls dream
to get an education............. in a poor country

The arduous stretch from home to classroom
through creeks and mud and obstacles unheard of here in the USA

its obvious that very little of the millions of dollars that come in from BAVARO BEACH
and PUNTA CANA and all the tourist niches go to educate or facilitate the poor of this nation.

Life isnt fair
life isnt just
there is no justice for the poor
the rich want more and more and more and more and more and more and more!!!!!!!!!!

i hate what has happened to this nation in the past 20 years.......................................
the poor stay poor and get poorer and the tourists and foreign money comes in and out of the nation.................................................
and im so absolutely sure that palms are being greased everywhere...................

She still has to cross a river stream to go to school.

Silhouetted
palms
the ocean roars
lovers love
there is alot of life and love on other shores

He would be disgraced alarmed shocked and dismayed if he saw the way people flock to stores to buy NONSENSE during CHRISTMAS.

He would be forever saddened by the way humans have treated humans in the last 2000 years.

He would look in horror at the holocaust , at Rwanda , at The Communist reign, at Slavery, at how the Rich strive to get richer
and the poor stay so downtrodden and impoverished.

He would cry yes i believe he would cry on his knees
looking at the impoverished 3 or more billion people on this planet who have so little
while a few have so much

He would i think make us all feel quite ashamed of ourselves
in how we act live and act callously to our fellow man.

He said great things.

What has gone wrong?

revisited, another angle of this series of images...............................
the BLIND Haitian man who let me in his shack to shoot.
His granddaughter lays on the floor asleep as rays pass through the open window. He is one of many thousands of expatriate Haitians
who have no work since the sugar mills have become privatized.
