Homeless Boys. Our student Jimmy lived at Lafanmi Selavi (a home for street children created by Jean-Bertrand Aristide) when he was a boy, and lived out on the streets after it closed. Jimmy was never in one of our formal Photography Workshops, but received one on one lessons, mentoring, and shot a lot of film. In 2003, Jimmy was taken away and killed by the Haitian National Police.
