Classic: Black and White
This winter I have been living in my Doc Martins. Today I was feeling like something classic, an old school look with a new school twist. Photo cred: Richard T. Fields. See the look below:
For Little Haiti
These photographs I took are
dedicated to memory and the narratives of immigrants that are often spoken in
quieter tones. Taken in the little Haiti community of Miami, these faces represent
the Haitian immigrants that have been turned away at many a shoreline, and have
seen their neighborhood transformed into a trendy Miami art district that does
not reflect their culture. The image of Marcus Garvey around the neck of the
young man, reminds me my own family migration story and the many Caribbean immigrants whose
struggles don’t always make the headlines. Next month, I am continuing the series with the hopes of using photography to build lesser told stories around gentrification in Miami communities.
