Yard Style

Last night, some friends and family got together at Habana Outpost in Brooklyn to check out a slideshow presentation of the photography of the infamous Peter Dean Rickards.

The Afflicted Yard

This Thursday night, we are pleased to be hosting an outdoor exhibition of the fine photography of notorious, Kingston, Jamaica photographer, Peter Dean Rickards.

Rickards’ photos have been featured in shows and media around the world including French Vogue and many others.

Renowned for his powerful imagery of Jamaican life, he also gained a huge amount of attention for being the guy who took the photos of British artist Banksy’s face and sold them to a London tabloid.

This Thursday, Peter will be projecting a selection of his photography onto our wall at Habana Outpost. Come and meet this legendary enfant terrible.

Island Outpost

A few weeks ago, to celebrate the finalization of the deal for the new Cafe Habana in Malibu, we took a little trip to Jamaica to celebrate. The honourable Mr. & Mrs. Sean Meenan, DJ Max Glazer & DJ Kenny Meez of the Federation Sound System, and myself hit up Montego Bay, Negril, and finally, Kingston for a few days of Island fun.

We had ridonkulous jerk chicken at Scotchie’s in Mo’ Bay, dropped by Jah Freedom Recordings’ new compound in Negril, and chilled at Freddie McGregor’s Big Ship Recording Studio in Kingston.

Peep some of the pics after the jump.

Kingston To Habana

Today, dancehall superstars Timberlee, Tifa, and Natalie Storm dropped by Habana Outpost in Brooklyn and blessed us with some shout outs. Thanks girls!
