Artist's Comments

A stranger: Montréal, Jean K. Gousse, franc-maçon: Grand Maître de l’Ordre du Grand orient d'Haïti de 1824, Grand secrétaire, Grand chancelier.


Je marchai dans la rue, quand une voiture assez luxueuse se stationne, deux homme noir en sorte, avec une démarche intrigante et en complet veston-cravate sortie d'une autre é;poque, de plus un des hommes suivait l'autre homme comme un garde du corps. Ok je me dis, je veux photographier cet homme, je le suis, il entre dans une librairie sur la spiritualité et la magie *Le Pentagramme* . J'entre moi aussi, vais vers l'homme et lui demande pour une photo. Il accepte après avoir discuté avec l'autre homme, je parle avec et j'apprends qu'il est franc-maçon. Il à été Grand Maître de l’Ordre du Grand orient d'Haïti de 1824 et maintenant il est Grand secrétaire et Grand chancelier. J'ai fais des recherche sur le net et voici ce que j'ai trouvé: goh1824.net/Pictures/Gousse.jpg



I was walking along the street when I noticed a very luxurious parked car, with two black men beside it. One was dressed in a suit and tie out of another era, and the other followed him as a bodyguard. Intrigued, I approached and say, Ok, I want to photograph this man. He entered a spirituality and magic bookstore, The Pentagram. I followed them inside and asked for a photo. He agrees after speaking with another man. We talk and I learn that he is a Freemason. He was Grand Master of the Order of the Grand Orient of Haiti from 1824 and is now Grand Secretary and Lord Chancellor. I am doing some research on the net and here's what I found goh1824.net/Pictures/Gousse.jpg

What a find, seeing him as a stranger, then finding out his history.

Loneliness: It's the unexplained bile that sits in the back of my throat. The same feeling I get when no one is home or there to hold me....

This is really beautiful
:iconmusabenedetta:
Absolutely stunning. They both have their own beauties but I think I prefer this one to the color version for some reason.
