To Photo or not To Photo

As a rule, Haitians do not want their photos taken. I have heard that it is feared it might take away a piece of your soul. Almost the same as Navajo beliefs! After talking with folks they are most inclined to say - "D'accord."
These two children were quite surprised when I appeared walking past their house. "Blan, blan" they shrieked with delight. They were amazed by my digital camera. For that matter, me too!
