It was 1979. I had only just begun to take photographs. Most of my time in life at that point was spent late into the evening, until the sun was coming up, at the Mudd Club in lower Manhattan. There I observed a downtown scene that was bizarre, fashionably cryptic at times, youthfully exuberant, its veneer quasi-religious. So when I decided to make a spontaneous journey to Haiti, nothing could prepare me for the magic realism that I was about to witness. Yes ~ this was no Mudd Club.
