The Book:
Working with Incitro, a boutique graphic design and branding agency who designed the book, along with photo editor Mike Franklin, each 13.25 X 9.5 inch 200 page volume gives a fantastic glimpse into the daily lives of the Haitian people. Move through the streets of Port-au-Prince after a rainstorm, sail to the island of Tortuga, walk through the fields of Furcy and gaze into the eyes of these extraordinary people.

This is a rare opportunity since this first print run is of limited quantity and will surely have tremendous long-term value.
Before the magnitude 7.0 earthquake on Tuesday, January 12, 2010 that would claim more than 250,000 lives; life in Haiti was a daily struggle for survival. Two and a half years prior to this tragedy, photographer and activist Don Mirra was in Haiti documenting the lives of the Haitian people through the lens of his camera. Telling the story in photos of the day to day existence of the Haitian people, whose plight was rarely seen prior to the havoc wreaked on the country by the January 12th earthquake.

The media buzz has died down and the news crews have left Haiti. The 24 hour news cycle has left behind the people of Haiti and their continued suffering. Can we really continue to ignore the conditions under which the Haitian people live in every day? The conditions today are worse then then just before the quake. Tents are the day to day living conditions of over a quarter million people. These exceptional people have unparalleled resilience to change, that said, they still lack basic human living conditions.
