Junkanoo is a national festival of the Bahamas. Junkanoo is an African celebration of freedom, colors, and sound. It is the most entertaining street carnival of West African origin. It is the most anticipated occasion of the year when the downtown Nassau is abuzz with excitement. In 1834, before the Abolition of Slavery under British Rule, it was an expression of temporary freedom. But now, it is a unique and renowned cultural extravaganza involving music, dance and international social critique.’Junkanoo’ is not just a festival but a feeling. It is the “soul of Bahamian Culture.” Junkanoo is a grand celebration of identity, freedom, pride, and history of Bahamas. The rhythmic sound of cowbells and distinctive beats of the goatskin drum, creative costume-making, and hoping on dancing beats make this festival the unique one. The scenic splendor is an artistic depiction of fantasy and reality.

The largest and liveliest of the sensational parade takes place in Bay...

At heart I am a story teller and a visual artist armed with a camera and a lens. I first developed a love for photography as young boy at my father's side. It was here that I came to understand the power of the photographic image. Its ability to be thought provoking, to bring inspiration and to challenge our concept of reality. My desire is to impact and inspire the viewers of my work. To encourage them to look beyond what they may see in their everyday lives. For me life is a journey through my lens. Any of my images can be purchased from Fine Art America, or directly from me by email at mlk@montezkerr.com Thank you for visiting, and please come back again, as new artwork is posted on a regular basis. PLEASE NOTE THAT ALL FINE ART...
