Haiti earthquake video photo essay by Mark Lugo released to YouTube

April 16, 2010 (Free-Press-Release.com) — TV producer and photographer Mark Lugo visited Haiti with his Swedish friend, Petter Lambertz, a few days after the 2010 Haiti earthquake that devastated the Haitian capital of Port au Prince. Initially, the two were not interested in anything but offering the little bit of help they could offer to the people of the Haiti. After a few days of traveling the back roads of Haiti to get to the capital, Mark noticed a certain vibe that the Haitian people had to them. It was a survivor’s heart and strong positive vibe that he noticed. From the family walking to church to the guy selling time on a portable cell phone on the street. The vibe was “go foward” and “keep going”. So Mark started to snapping a few pictures of what he saw. “I wanted this always remind me of what I witnessed in Haiti”, he said. “I want this remind me that no matter how bad it gets, one must continue to be strong”, he added.

The pair delivered tents and medicines to the people of Haiti. The important part making friends during struggling times…that was the most important part of it all, Lugo stated as looking at the photos of Haiti on his computer.
