V. Social Commentary
In Love with the Rastaman​

PEOPLE AND HOW WE LIVE,  love, learn, and earn our livings is always prime material for expressing oneself. In this section, I highlight a few of the many observations, friendships, relationships, and opinions I've formed of my own experiences living in an increasingly complex society. As social commentary, these pieces represent only a portion of my impressions and critiques, implied or explicit, of the surroundings in which we live.
