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.
