3 Years in Kingston by Peter Dean Rickards (PDF available here) WARNING: NSFW. Some pretty arresting imagery taken in Jamaica taken from 2002 to 2006 (fashion, editorial, reportage, landscape) taken by Kingston-based Rickards (founder and Editor of First Magazine and creator of The Afflicted Yard). There are portraits of Jamaican musicians from Sean Paul to Lee Scratch Perry, coverage of Kingston’s gun violence (”gun like dirt”) and pretty, skimpily clad young women.
