Bruce Gilden Cemetery. Port-au-Prince, Haiti. 1988.
“When I first started photography, I remember reading the Robert Capa quote: ‘If it's not good enough, you're not close enough.’ These words have remained wi
(...) th me until this day. They’re my mantra.
When I first went to Haiti, in 1984, I immediately noticed that every night there were funeral processions. I began to photograph them, not knowing how this would be received. As I took the photographs, people didn't seem to mind. The more processions I went to, the closer I got. This photo is one of my best pictures. I suppose the older I get, the closer I get."
