Portraits of people celebrating Phagwah, or Holi, in Queens, New York

Phagwah, or Holi, is the Indo-Caribbean Hindu celebration of the new year.
Every spring, the Sunday after the first full moon of the Hindu calendar, Phagwah literally paints the streets as kids and families “color” one another with dye (abrac) and powder and chase away the winter grays. The spirit–and high-jinks–are like that of Carnival.
People in Queens are celebrating Phagwah in Richmond Hill and Jackson Heights.
Print sale for Haiti.

I had a little chat yesterday with a friend about the way we – professional photojournalists – try to change things around us.
We immediatly thought about Haiti, and the disaster everybody on this island is facing. The entire world of photojournalism is flying to “Port au Prince” to witness and raise awareness of the critical situation the people of Haiti is going through. I can’t go in Haiti, but I wanna help.
Yesterday, I posted a note about the Redbubble Prints, and I have decided to turn this into a print sale for Haiti.
How will it work?
When you buy a product at RedBubble, the website charges a base cost for production, and the photographer receives the rest of the sale.
I will donate the total amount of this % to Doctor Without Border through their online donation form and I’ll post the result (with screen capture) on this blog at the end of February, as a proof of goodwill (even if there’s no sales at all). This is a humble try to support the global effort to help Haiti.
Thank you.
