Kingston, Jamaica A Day in The Life........


I arrived in Kingston, Jamaica in January of 2010 on assignment to photograph a day in the life of Andre Fairclough Project Artist student. This is a program sponsored by Red Stripe and Diageo as part of their larger initiative, Learning For Life. I was given access to a young musicians life for an entire day, needless to say I was very excited to photograph this assignment. I first met Andre as I was stepping out of a van at about 7:00 am on bright, crisp beautiful day in Kingston. The first thing I noticed was Andre's excitement about the project and his infectious smile. I was privileged to meet his family and friends and spend some quality time just experiencing and photographing his life for an entire day. In the pages of this book you will see what I experienced meeting his family, having breakfast with his friends, taking his daughter to school and finally ending with Andre's graduation from the program. I was honored to meet this talented young man I wish him well and look forward to hearing his name in the music world.
