A colonial era postal collection box stands in front of the Pompey Museum of Slavery & Emancipation at Vendue House in downtown Nassau. Â Like all of these scattered throughout the globe, it was manufactured in Scotland.
The box bears the Royal Cypher George Rex (Latin meaning “King”). Because there are no other numerals around the cypher, this postbox most likely was installed no later than 1936 when George V abdicated the throne for romance and was given the post of Governor of the Bahamas.

Photo was shot along West Street on the premises of the National Art Gallery of The Bahamas. Across the street is the old St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church, dating back to 1886.
I must have looked crazy bent over with my head in the sand taking a photo of a passport just inches away from the tide!
Throughout the Caribbean, and more widely, Commonwealth, police dress in their former British colonial era khakis or whites. This shot was taken during a brief respite from COVID lock down.
Portrait orientation of “In The Darkness, I Will Meet My Creators”.
Many migrants occupy this area, either in the ruins of the estate or in the bushes nearby. I was walking my dog in this area and suddenly a government bus pulled up aside and the driver asked if I was a Bahamian citizen. Strangely, all it took for this man to drive away was for me to say yes.
The people that see this photo inevitably tell me it inspired them. I can’t honestly say it was my intention. People take away different messages from the iconography. If you have time, can you tell me what you take away from this? Drop me a line anytime, I would love to hear from you.
The alleyway next to the old Marley family vacation home, now a resort.
This is one of the oldest buildings in downtown Nassau. Royal Bank of Canada was the first international bank to set up operations in the country more than a century ago, followed by Barclays.
