[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Who of us have not heard about Bob Marley? He represents everything what is Jamaican: music, style of living, approach to life, love towards Africa.
Most of the people you meet there are like The Legend: friendly, open, music-freak and ganja-funs (some of them).
The rasta on the photo being a craftman carves wooden pots, cups and other funny things selling them stright on the street. The white thing between his fingers is an inseparable element of his work.
I loved the island. Yeah man, respect. But beware:
Too much callaloo mek peppa-pot bitta (Jamaican proverb).

strange colours but very nice moment captured, very dynamic. I alsom remember the man. I wish we had a chance to go there again on more relaxed - less responsible trip

yeah man, love this picture. I regret that this man don't look at me!
Greetings and Peace

oj tak-klimat Jamajki tkwi w tych ludziach, w muzyce...
Bardzo lubię i zazdroszczę pobytu:)
Pozdrawiam:)

This fellow is cool, a real Bob Marley type.
ANd I wonder what the Jamaican proverb you wrote at the end means (As I see it is half English)...

Hi Jurek,
sehe dass du mit echten Jamikanern zu tun hast :)
