L'Eternel est Grand is my first "serious" work, from my early years as a photographer, soon after arriving in New York at 19 until I was about 22. I stopped taking pictures for 7 years or so after that. Most of this work was destroyed during a moment of hasty discontent.
These are some of the few images which managed to survive.
The title comes from a small sticker glued to the door of a Haitian cab driver, a devout Christian man, a neighbor of mine in a sleazy, run down single room occupancy hotel on the Upper West Side which was my home for the first couple of years in New York.
