Wet Hair

Last days of summer in the Outer Banks, NC. A surfer flips her hair after doing some long board surfing. The Outer Banks is one of the best surf spots on the East Coast and the locals hope for hurricane waves this time of year. Let’s just hope the hurricanes stay offshore…

Cap‑Haïtien

Arriving in Cap‑Haïtien, in the north of Haiti. This is where it all happened…where the slaves defeated the French, providing hope for the oppressed and terrifying oppressors worldwide. #haiti Photo: @mariearago
