Hotels-live.com - “I remember as a youth finding a photo spread on Brazil Carnival in one of my mother’s magazines,” recalls Wayne Lawrence (@waynelawrence). The documentary photographer, who was born on the Caribbean island of St. Kitts, was instantly fascinated. Now based in Brooklyn, New York, Wayne is back for his third trip to Brazil for an ongoing personal project that explores the diverse communities of the African diaspora. Brazil is home to the largest black population of any country outside of Africa. “For people living in the tropics, Carnival is engrained in the DNA of who we are as descendants of African slaves,” says Wayne, who has been photographing scenes at Carnival over the past few days. “I wanted to make the connection between our shared history.” Photo by @waynelawrence @Hotelslive by instagram instagram.com/p/zKkctMhQT_/ Follow instagram @Hotelspaschers instagram.com/hotelspaschers and @Voyageslive #Twitter #TeamFollowBack #Instagram #Voyage #Travel #TFB #FollowTrick www.facebook.com/125048940862168/photos/a.801853623181693... via Hotels-live.com www.facebook.com/pages/p/125048940862168 #Retweet #TeamFollowBack #F4F #TityFollowTrain via http://flic.kr/p/qgpm9U
