I am Jibaro Borinqueno by Jose Juniel Rivera-Negron
This photo was taken while visiting my beautiful Island of Borinquén that is called now Puerto Rico. Most of the tittle is in Spanish because it wouldn’t sound the same in English, but’ JÃbaro’ is a farmer who grows in his own farm and ‘Borinqueño’ is also called a person that was born in Puerto Rico. This was at my grandmother’s work field where I spent most of my childhood. I asked my uncle if he could pose a little with his “machete” in one hand and a whole branch of green bananas on his other. A very traditional phoyograph of a Jibaro Borinqueño.
