The Afflicted Yard - photos of Jamaica that white people didn't take

I didn't get to see the show "Infinite Island: Contemporary Caribbean Art" at the Brooklyn Museum of Art which closed on January 27, but I would have liked to. One of the participating artists was Peter Dean Rickards, a Jamaica-based photographer with a keen social/ cultural sensitivity and a wicked sense of humor. On his website his photos are divided into specific catagories: Women, Places, Famous People and People Who Think They're Famous, and Everything Else. I guess the above photo, Dogball, would qualify as everything else.
