Negril, Jamaica, Feature Photo #16
The Rough and Tough Jamaican
Here’s one rough and tough looking Jamaican, but appearances are not always as they seem. Never did catch this Jamaican’s name. His gig was selling reggae bracelets on the 7-mile beach. His total inventory at any one time was five, maybe six.
There eye-catching colors- the traditional Jamaican colors:
Yellow- for the sun
Green- for the vegetation
Red- for the blood
Black- for the people
He purchased them somewhere and then walked the Seven Mile, seeking
out tourists, and my guess tried to
double or triple his initial investment.
He started out high, but would bargain and accept an offer when granted.
This Jamaican has a rough appearance as you can see, but
was actually very gentle in his mannerisms and subtle approach. He approached me several times
on a daily basis and I was always
cordial. Greeting with RESPECT and leaving with RESPECT ✊.
My go-to guy on the beach is the
Brain Doctor. He’d make up bracelets and even reggae (Rasta) belts for you right there on the spot.
My thoughts, tough way to make a living, but you gotta do what you gotta do to survive in this world of ours.
Respect,
s-irie

With his due respect I like your post. This type of people are very seen on the beaches of Venezuela, selling handicrafts in bracelets, anklets, necklaces, mostly made of snails, seashells and so on.
But I love that white color of the t-shirt as it stands out in that man, I have nothing against the negritos, I descend from them happens that through the alloy of my mom mulatto and dad catire came out lighter, but bad hair ha ha ha, but with treatments has improved.
Say hello to that gentleman when you see him again, you lack a photo with what sells.
Say hello to your friend.
May the love spread....
That's a rough way to earn a living. Maybe he was helping a friend/family member sell. There's always a story.

Looks are not always as they seem - never judge a book by its cover, per se.
This guy was a respectable man and would do his thang. Everyone has a gig, this happened to be his
