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.

… this is a story of a community of survivors… individuals who brave the elements off-grid to find themselves, on the mesa. for whatever reasons, war veterans, runaway kids and families have made their way to the mesa, bonding together to survive life outside mainstream society and in the desert. watch the documentary for free and in its entirety on Snag Films! … you’ll fall in love with Stan the pig farmer… how could you not?!
