GREETINGS YOU LOT

Greetings you lot.
Since returning from Jamaica in early February, I have spent the past six weeks not only constructing a business plan required by those who were to invest in the project to publish Portrait of a Legend and other Folks but also in clarifying certain aspects of this plan. Four weeks were spent waiting because of (complex) legal matters. It appeared that these legal matters would compromise the project and I was forced to abandon that route. After my wasted efforts of Plan A, I am simply recharging my energy in order to implement Plan B.
One Love.

FORWARD EVER BACKWARD NEVER

Mr. Donald,
Do what is best for your project 'Portrait of a Legend and Other Folks'.
I know Jonas stated that not all the questions he previously sent were answered, however, maybe it is in everyone's best interest for you to proceed without Mom as I cannot guarantee a response on the date mentioned as this is not a settlement offer Mr. Donald but a negotiation that has taken some time.
We wish you all the best with your project 'Portrait of a Legend and Other Folks" and look forward to receiving a copy!
(Maybe Mom could write the forward or something like that..up to you..I think it would be nice).

One Love & Bless Always

HAVE A PEACEFUL SUNDAY YOU LOT


I never had the blessing of  taking the portrait of the LEGEND LUCKY DUBE..peace and love you lot.





Well, Peter Tosh was basically the reason really behind my getting into reggae, because when I first heard Peter Tosh, I really liked his music and I really liked his message. Basically, everything about Peter Tosh really was great. He is still even today the foundation of what I’m doing. ~ Lucky Dube

LINDSAY DONALD ROOTS REGGAE PHOTOGRAPHER

I photographed Ras Sam Brown. A fact.




RAS SAMUEL BROWN ~ TREATISE OF THE RASTAFARIAN MOVEMENT
Gods are the creation of the inner consciousness of nation’s deification of an individual. Elders and parents beget progenies who in turn carry on the perpetuation of such culture.
Unlike all orders of religion, the culture of Rastafari was not handed down from father to son as the people of Christendom. We who have perused the volumes of history know that in this 20th century a king would arise out of Jesse’s root, who should be a God {Almighty} for his people, and a liberator to all the oppressed of earth. We the Rastafarians who are the true prophets of this age, the reincarnated Moseses, Joshuas, Isaiahs, Jeremiahs who are the battle-axes and weapons of war {a Jihad}, we are those who are destined to free not only the scattered Ethiopians but all people, animals, herbs and all life forms.
We are vanguard of 144,000 celestial selectees who shall in turn free 468,000 millions particularly, and the world at large. We are the disciples of Rastafari, who have walked with God from the time when the foundation of creation was laid through 71 bodies, to behold the 72nd house of power which shall reign forever. We now stand as the fulfillers of prophecy; we knew before that when a king should be crowned in the land of David’s throne, that individual would be Shiloh, the anointed One, the Messiah, the Christ returned in the personification {on his vesture and on his thigh is a name written, “King of Kings and Lord of Lords”}.We also know the significance of Daniel, declaring from that time to this time, for I behold until all the thrones of Babylon were cast down and the ancient of whose head was like unto wool, whose feet were like unto burning brass, and he treadeth the fierceness of the winepress of his wrath, to execute Justice and Judgement on the Gentiles. The scriptures declare God hangs in motionless space surrounded by thick darkness, hence a black man.
God came in many bodies to reign forever in Rastafari the holy one of Israel whose ray of light shall finally dim the eyes of the dragon, and through whose power all those of many nations who embrace the faith and uphold its laws shall live forevermore with God. We are those who shall fight all wrongs and bring ease to the suffering bodies and peace to all people.

We daily receive our mental community through our Majesty, the Emperor Haile Selassie. We need not read the bible in order to know that he is God. We are reading carefully our bible but at the most truthful inspiration we know that he is God. We know that he is God through our native cognition. Mortimo Planno
