Russia in color, a century ago - The Big Picture

With images from southern and central Russia in the news lately due to extensive wildfires, I thought it would be interesting to look back in time with this extraordinary collection of color photographs taken between 1909 and 1912. In those years, photographer Sergei Mikhailovich Prokudin-Gorskii (1863-1944) undertook a photographic survey of the Russian Empire with the support of Tsar Nicholas II.

PICTUREJAMAICA.COM | Affordable Stock Photos

PictureJamaica.com is my latest development that started in 2006. The idea came about from the encouragement of family and friends, who suggested that I share the images of Jamaica to the outside world.

First Time: The cat's out of the bag

I've been at my current job for 13 and a half years. I recently finished the last new studio. Now it's official: I have installed every piece of equipment, and ran every cable. Every time my contract was up, usually every two years, my position has been advertised, so that if there was a qualified Caymanian who applied, the employers were required to give them the job. For me it sucked, having my job advertised, but I could see it was a good law. Well this time, someone else got my job.

Blame yourself for this Jamaica [naughty]

Short Hair Dont Care

For most of last month I decided to put in a weave. Nothing drastic no rapunzelism just a nice straight hair that I hoped looked like mine. There was the process of selection, what length, colour, texture then the sewing in was painful as hell but the end result was super fly.

Your Lucky Day - Short film [video] [naughty]

This is a rather jarring short film about the impact of a multi-million dollar lottery drawing on a small group of people. Rider Strong of Boy Meets World fame is one of the actors. It’s an exceptionally well produced piece. I really dig the director’s style.

Are you worth it?

First off let me start by saying I am not creating an excuse for trifling men out there, however, I myself have been guilty of generalizing men. I guess what I’m trying to say is that some men are born assholes and some are made that way. I want to focus on the women who push and push and push a man.

Marcus Garvey: Blogger?

A few weeks ago, I invited Colin Grant, author of Negro with a Hat: The Rise and Fall of Marcus Garvey and His Dream of Mother Africa, to write a guest post for the blog. I was interested in his answer to a question about which I had thought a great deal, but feared I did not have the vast knowledge that Colin possesses about the subject: If Marcus Garvey were alive today, would he be blogging?
