One Love: The Very Best of Bob Marley & The Wailers (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
Not much to say today, but I just wanted to say “One Love, One Heart”. An image of Bob Marley came to mind today I that is the song that stuck with me throughout the day. I remember zoning to that song when I was young and back in Jamaica, it’s just on of those good old time reggae song to jam to. Have you ever heard the song? I think you should take a listen.
I love my cultural background and shall never say otherwise, for Jamaicans are proud people with lots of love/passion in our soul. There are some people that refuses their upbringings in all cultures around the world, but the ones that represent and actually show others the different aspect aside from any stereotypes out there are the ones you can count on to teach you something new, to make you want to try something new from that culture, or be interested enough to learn more, or get you so hype to actually visit that country or place just to see if what was said is true. I am proud of mines.
It is always one of my goals to learn more about the world and other cultures. So when I do meet new people and friends I always ask their backgrounds and what they love about their culture or couple fun facts about their upbringings. I came upon writing this post after spending the last couple weeks listening to some old school Jamaican music and dancing everywhere and sing the tunes back as loud as possible in the streets as I walk with headphones blasting music. Note worthy I have been listen to one of my favorite Jamaican artist, Sean Paul. He is such a great artist and I was so excited for him when he crossed over in the United States with his music, with great classics like “Gimme The Light“, “Like Glue” and “Get Busy“. I have been really bumping his album Trinity he released a few years back, with the awesome up-tempo songs such as “We Be Burnin’” and “Temperature” in which really inspired me to write this post.
Do you know of Sean Paul? Have you ever seen a Sean Paul music video or listen to a Sean Paul song?

So I was out in the world, doing the things I love to do, shooting lovely photos and at the same time I was making some cameo appearances in a Music Video for my artist Kennie Dubb (alternative hip hop artist), then here it comes, RAIN. I have never really been caught in the rain and got soaked before, ever seen I a little boy in Jamaica and just had that I don’t care, I want to play in the rain attitude. My mother of course didn’t like that theory and great deal of spanking went with that. But I was always prepared for the situation of rain, or stay in a location of shelter until the rain stopped.
Rewind then fast forward, back in the days in Jamaica, the simple life, rain wasn’t much of a deal, because I was a kid and shoot it’s just water. But in today’s world, my $2,000 camera equipment and smart phone is not something so easy to look over by the rain and the damages it cause and what the insurance on each won’t cover. So when the said rain came pouring, I was out like flash to protect my valuables and then find a place to stay dry. Well it was a big beach, and luckily my artist had a ride and I was saved, after the fact I was soaked, cold, and tired. But all in all, I had a semi water proof book bag with a mini umbrella in which I could not get to in time, via it was the same compartment my greatly priced video camera was, and I was in no way going to make that risk to open my bag.
Gladly my camera was protected, and I have this cool memory and story to share. I should be in the super cool music video, and had a blast playing soccer on the beach and everyone came out to have fun. Oh also the photos from my photoshoot came out well. I am happy.
PS: Damn, New York City weather, just all over the place randomly.
