#bobmarley #advertising #jamaica #reggae - House and resident, Trench Town JA.
I was hanging out the with one of Bob Marley’s precusionists the other day and he told me that this was a house where the Wailers did a lot of practicing.  Who knows maybe he wrote some of their music here?
Anyway, I went inside and this is a picture of a nice woman who lived in the building.

Being on the set of this shoot I have a special attachment to this song and video.  My JA friends will agree that it is my favorite song in JA right now… Even though it’s probably old now.

I like pictures like this.  Lots of stuff going on with no main focus.  More of a feeling than a subject. - Sam Diephuis

I love this sound system and if I had the time, money and drive I would buy it and send it back to LA, and put it in my living room, and annoy my neighborhood.
My neighborhood is cool, but I don’t think they are loud-dancehall-reggae-at-all-hours cool, so I will just leave it in Cockburn Pen…. Sam Diephuis

#reggae #jamaica #advertising #travel #music - This is the engineer that works at the Marley Tuff Gong Studio, Greg “Cuppy-G” -  He’s a really really nice guy and if you need any engineering done, this is the guy to do it.  Tuff Gong is the biggest most modern studio Ive seen in JA.  HUGE!  Very historic as well.   - By Sam Diephuis
