Peter Dean Rickards – The Afflicted Yard: Kingston 2002 – 2006

Peter Dean Rickards is the photographer for The Afflicted Yard.  they’ve made this collection of photography available for viewing in its entirety online, for free… a great collection of the rough, rugged and raw nature of Jamaica.  a bit about The Afflicted Yard:

We are Jamaicans living within and without cultural control.

We are at once proud nationalists and harsh critics of our country of origin.

A country known for its extremes.

A place packed with originality and creative energy that continues to flourish despite the current socio-political state that has removed the personal pride of many.

An island filled with beauty unsurpassed and ugliness that would make a rat puke.

This is the Afflicted Yard. A place of extremes where you will see life as we see it.
