Attention: Small Publishers and Charity sites: If you are a small publisher or a non-profit charity site. I am flexible in negotiating download rates. I have at times offered my pictures free for causes that I consider worthwhile. And for small publishers I have adjusted my download rates to fit publishing budgets. If I do this or not is my decision and requires my permission. Contact me by email if you fit in this category and we can make arrangements. Please keep in mind that I respect honesty and forthrightness. I want to treat you fair, and would expect the same from you.

I have opted for dopiaza to do a most interesting set for me. Perhaps they can keep up with it more than I can. I have also chosen the top 100 so you can see a larger range of my better photographs.

Mistress of the Water
The old men of the village of Mahotière say that the Mistress of the Water is a mulatto woman.
At midnight she comes out of the spring and sings while combing her dripping long hair, which makes a sound sweeter than a violin.
It is a song of perdition for whomever hears it.
There is no sign of the Cross, no "Our Father" to save him. Her curse takes him like a fish in a net and the Mistress of the Water awaits him on the edge of the spring and smiles upon him and tells him to follow her to the depths, from which he will never return.
(Jacques Roumain (1907-1945), Haitian author, ethnologist, political activist. Repr. Éditions Messidor (1992). Masters of the Dew, p. 146, Les Éditeurs Français Réunis (1946). Based on Afro-Haitian belief.)
