The goal of the project is to create a permanent collection of photographs to provide recognition, foster cultural awareness and create a record of the people who make the Bahamas unique.<\/p>\n<p>The project by the two photographers is a collaborative effort with the NAGB and Popopstudios.<\/p>\n<p>Ms Wells told Tribune Entertainment: \u201cThe photos were all done by Mr Wells specifically. It is his idea and creation. It was something that he wanted to do after his friend, Jackson Burnside, passed away so suddenly. He was very sad that there wasn\u2019t a legacy like this to document Mr Burnside\u2019s life. So that is when he sort of embarked on this project.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #888888;\"><em>(Photo credit www.stopmotionproductions.com)<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Read the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bahamianproject.com\/2013\/05\/bahamian-project-nears-completion-of-first-year\/\" target=\"_blank\">full article<\/a> by Alesha Cadet of The Tribune<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Photographers Duke and Lisa Wells unveiled a first preview of their three year fine art photography project \u201cThe Bahamian Project\u201d on Friday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":17,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"rop_custom_images_group":[],"rop_custom_messages_group":[],"rop_publish_now":"initial","rop_publish_now_accounts":{"facebook_10223285771444175_51037792744":""},"rop_publish_now_history":[],"rop_publish_now_status":"pending","footnotes":""},"categories":[18],"tags":[320,228,78],"class_list":["post-35694","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-lifestyle","tag-art","tag-bahamians","tag-photography"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35694","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/17"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=35694"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35694\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=35694"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=35694"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=35694"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
