You are right. Of course, Fabienne's corpse is not the most photographed body. There is no way to qualify that and statistics don't exist. I was lax with my phrasing. May I reword the statement? Fabienne Cherisma is ONE of the most photographed corpses from the Haiti earthquake. It could also be said, the images of her corpse may be the most recognised? As is apparent, I am interested in the events surrounding Fabienne's death. How it was photographed. Theoretically, the subject of my inquiry could have been any scene from the Haiti earthquake aftermath. I am aware of the ongoing (and sometimes accusatory) debates about photographers in Haiti, and I am aware that many photographers are defensive. Photojournalism deals with its internal tension much better than other professions I believe. I have no agenda here, I just want to carry out a visual deconstruction of the incident. For that I'd really appreciate your help, Michael. I'll send you an email shortly. I have also written this new piece which identifies six photographers at the scene. http://prisonphotography.wordpress.com/2010/02/10/yet-more-on-fabienne-cherisma/ I'd value your eye witness testimony to add to - and correct if necessary - the information I have so far. Best, Pete Michael.

To say, "Fabienne Cherisma (Geichmar in some sources) is the most commonly photographed corpse from the Haiti earthquake aftermath" tells me you either have not followed the news or are simply being antagonistic. I have seen numerous dead bodies photographed by a number of photojournalist from around the world. There were other people there, at various stages, during and after Fabiennes death, but to say she was "the most commonly photographer corpse" is a little ridiculous, seeing how there have been over 250,000 deaths due the earthquake and I've seen hundreds of images published of corpses. For future reference, do a little more research before making such a bold statement. You should expect, from how how personal this work is to me, that I would have a response to your statement. If you would like to carry on dialogue about this, please feel free to send me some reference or statistics as to back up your statement. Thanks.
