For some reasons it reminds me the bobsley team (???) from Jamaica - saying:
"We no wanna go to no Japan... (Winter olympics in Sapporo)
We wanna go to Jamai-ka ! "...

Tha hat, the strong body, the smile, no teeth...
He must be Jamai-ka a'man or somethn;...
(:-)))

Lovely 'close encounter with the other world' Gerrit...
As natural as natural can be...

Stay cool, a'man

Hello Gerrit
Indeed, a happy character and I like the way he stands proudly in front of his kitchen and how you've described him... simple, friendly and authentic!

Bonjour Gerrit,
personnage typique, on entend en arrière fond musical, le reggae. La photo montre dans le détail, les conditions de vie pas trop luxueuses de ces populations qui vivent dans des iles que nous qualifions 'de rêve'.
Regards.
Daniel.

I really enjoyed this note :) A very nice picture, a man with a very contented and happy expression. Interesting as well. TFS and I hope we'll see more pictures of his family.

Very good daily life shot. He sounds like quite a character. The Rasta colours catch the eye very well. Interesting to see the "Shower block" also painted in Rasta colours. You should mention the WS in your note as I almost missed it. :D

Your story is very interesting and I like the subtle humor portraying the laid back character of the man. You've captured the character of this man in this photo ... his body language and laugh is spot on. Excellent work! tfs and have a nice weekend.

Hi Gerrit,

Gerrit,
A typical jamaican picture, or at least it is how I imagine a typical jamaican picture :o)
Anyway nice catch, with pleasant colors and exposure.

Hi Gerrit,
That's the image I had of the common Jamaican when I was a Bob Marley fan many moons ago. :D Always cool, with a 'ganga smile' on the face, "don't worry, be happy". But he looks quite healthy and athletic for a 56 years man. Very good light and sharpness considering the circumstances that look quite challenging.
TFS, Regards, José.

Hi Gerrit,

Mokko seems very proud to be taken in photograph in his humble kitchen. He has a “cool” smile and a nice red bonnet. Thank you for the photo bonus where one can appreciate his space of life very coloured too.

With all my friendships and a very good WE,

Jean-Charles

Interesting portrait, but man that red hat looks so artificial, as if superimposed on the photo, great note though.

Hallo, Gerrit. Moeilijk niet te geloven dat je in Jamaïca bent. De typische kleuren zijn er. De man ziet er sympathiek uit met zijn met zijn tandenloze glimlach. Gespierd als een athleet. Ik hou van de moderne ingerichte keuken ;o). De flitslamp was misschien een beetje te sterk hier. Dit merk je vooral aan zijn muts. Maar voor de rest een aangename foto om naar te kijken.

Hi Gerrit! An excellent portrait? The word Mokko in the GR language meant silence. Your subject, as reportage means many in the spectator messages, has good and important imprinting and good and important chromatic balance, Well done nice note

Hello Gerrit,
What a cool typical Jamaican chracter you have here, well framed with his humble house around.
I like his relaxed pose looking at you also and the way yo got light where it seems to be quite dark.
The only thing that disturbs me a bit is the way his hat seems to be pushed over, but that doesn't ruin the rest of the photo.
Cheers.
Paulo

Hi Gerrit,
He has to be a very interesting man and many things can be learned.The Rastafarian colours have an interesting force and the presence of the man is round. Excellent photography and great note ;-)

Un saludo, Jordi
