Customers in queue for a pack of fresh nuts from one of the most popular vendors in Port of Spain.
These two Nutmen operate their brisk business on the sidewalk opposite the National Library in Port of Spain. Their costumers are so loyal that they have lined up in an orderly fashion to buy a few packs of their freshly roasted nuts.
The vendor remarked that if you give what you have freely to others, even to the pigeons, your rewards will exceed your expectations.

Richard Bolai lives and works from Trinidad, West Indies. He is a bookbinder,Graphic designer and the author of thebookmann, which from 2004, has written and photographed independently aspects of Trinidad and Tobago's art culture.
In 2008, he began a series of self studies called Feinin which incorporated digital superpositions of artists who have left a mark in art history by using the internet as the core of reference. He also produced parodies relating to anthropological studies of Trinidad and Tobago, for example, folklore or observations of the society via class and stereotypes
The work then expanded by actually creating dimensional replicas, capturing a map over the subjects to explore the underling subconscious in the form of art. This aided the ability to analyze art by producing art parodies to understand the meaning behind it. No money was spent or assistance in producing these compositions from common items found in his home, a chair, a mirror, or old tyre.
