After trying to go through the catalogue of tens of thousands of photographs that were shot in the past 5 years, I came upon some interesting scenes that I held close to my heart. This is not the typical tourist board collection. We are talking about travel and cultural photography shot documentary style to depict life in its most authentic occurrence. The settings vary from Downtown Kingston street life, to life on my father’s farm in the hills of Trelawny, to my last dance camp at the Edna Manley College of the Visual Arts, to portraits of typical Jamaicans. This is a study of Jamaica that you can only get from the inside perspective of one who has lived there and loved it.
It showcases a simple, unencumbered life and the creativity and ingenuity that Jamaicans are known for.
The image above was taken at my friend Angela’s beautiful seaside property, which she rents for events in Montego Bay, Jamaica.
Oh man I haven’t had any curried goat since I was last in Jamaica. Good stuff, great pictures and memories.
Can I tell you HOW much we have been eating this at home since my recent trip to Jamaica? I swear the baby will have curry on his tongue!
Stunning Photography as always. Love love and more love.
Thanks so much Dima!
I have never visited this green and lush island. Seeing all the smiles reminded me of Guam, another “island paradise” located on the other side of the world. Maybe this year. So close!! Thanks for sharing!
Chef William, you would have a ball!
Wow… it makes me long for home. Wonderful pics!
Sometimes we just need a reminder 🙂
Great Job! One pic looks very familiar!
Yes, I promised your daddy that pic of him like ages ago!
Great pictures, make me want to go visit the Island.
Thanks much!
