Seeing any picture of Bob Marley instantly reminds me of Jamaica. this picture particularly reminds me of marketplaces that lace the streets of Jamaica, seeing this picture reminds me of the countless tee shirts towels bandannas and other memorabilia that would be sold at these markets. this picture in particular is famous not only because of Bobs face but also the colors Red Yellow and Red the represent the Rastafarian culture.


Seeing Deer in the wild instantly remind me of my Uncle Joel. me and my uncle Joel would go out every march and go hunting for buck. the countless hours spent out in natures elements just me and him left me with fond memories of him. Simply seeing nature in general remind me of these moments but even further the sight of a wild buck.


Whenever i see a picture that relates anything to hockey i am reminded of home, and being the one growing up that never could play the sport with any type of skill, and truthfully never liked the sport not being able to skate, and not having the hand eye coordination often left me last to be picked in this particular sport. Canada is often considered the homeland of hockey this snapshot represents just that, hockey with the Canadian maple leaf in the background

map assighnment

In this blog we are given the opportunity to reflect on a place that we lived by relating it to a map. i choose a map of Jamaica, a place that i lived for 2 years before returning to Canada. just visual looking at the map of Jamaica brings back many memories of numerous family members in almost all areas on the map. this map is detailed but still misses small parish's that are in Jamaica such as fellowship hall, st. Elizabeth, small areas like this that are areas that my family originated but younger generations have migrated from.

Jamaician visual representation.

In this blog we were instructed to chose a image of a place that we once lived. i chose this picture of Bob Marley and the beautiful coastline of Jamaica. When talking about Jamaica there are often two very different stereotypes that come to mind, one being a impoverished nation with slums overrun by the use of marijuana and political rebellion, or comes to mind is the beautiful scenery that attracts many tourist to this destination. in this picture as a citizen of this country i see the clash of both visions. the beauty of the island in witch i call home, and i see the face of the island. representing the constant fight for freedom, but also representing the marijuana use in the most religious beliefs.
