Nina,

I don’t know you but all I can say is WOW - and I appreciate your posting all of these FABULOUS shots. I leave in 8 sleeps for JA and I didn’t think I could get more excited - but after viewing these I am. [img]/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] [img]/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Nina...You need to take these photos and make a book called "Faces of Jamaica". It would be a best seller. Ray Chen has nothing on you...

Seriously...NO captions...just pictures of the people you capture so real and true. I dread the day you run out of pictures to post...I know its laborous to post all this so I want to say THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!

It`s in recent years that I have heard the younger generation referring to "Buy two corn from de lady."
`Corn` is usually a morning commodity, eaten with a piece of saltfish or herring, instead of regular fried or boiled dumplings.
Sinco, `Festival` is a mixture with sugar, corn is just nearly a festival minus the sugary taste.

Re: Nina's Escape To Find Peace- A Photo Journey-part 1

One thing about Nina is that she fears never to explore Jamaica. She is far and away from the touristy areas. She is a lover of Jamaica, her origins, her heartbeat, the simple behind the scene areas and most of all Jamaica`s PEOPLE.
They gravitate towards her like magnet to steel.
Look how at ease they are with her and her camera.
A phenomenon in the making.

Remember Nina saying in a previous post how she revels in simple subjects in her photographs. The doors. The signs. The architecture, rustic and unique. The landscape. People candidly doing their chores. The woman washing or tying her calaloo as oblivious to this woman behind the camera, at ease.
As you said, "In her essence."
