Family values are important in Jamaica. It all starts with a positive relationship and matures from there.
This photo emanates and reaches out to you. Man, woman and child —
the essence of FAMILY.
This photo was taken on The Seven
Mile Beach, Negril, Jamaica.
I didn’t make the first move here.
Initially I was approached and asked if I wanted to purchase some reggae CD’s. Seems that is a big sales point on the beach to earn some extra dollar’s in the form of J’s. Tourists love purchasing CD’s of raggae music. So quick and easy the revenue. The more personable you are, the more successful you are.
We spoke, interacted and the deal was made. From that point on whenever we made eye contact,
we approached each other to talk.
One day there he was on the beach,
along with his better half who
was with their child. A family man he was, and likely do this day. It dawned on me why he was working the beach. The provider of the future! A whole different
conversation and perspective developed, this guy became more real right then and there.
Of course I asked if a picture could be taken. They were more than
happy to oblige. I’ve yet to have
received a NO to this question. And I’ve asked a lot of times if you couldn’t already tell from previous posts
It’s as if the Jamaican people want their image to endure for all time, just like their music and culture and heritage.
It’s Jamaica, mon 🇯🇲
Respect,
