Fikisha allows the reader to vividly witness these years with Tosh and Marley in their Jamaican homes,"on the road," in rehearsals, in concerts and through totally uncensored interviews. Her first portrait photos are those taken during her 1975 interview with Bob who inspired her photography career when he told her in his Kingston home, "You take some different kind'a photo."
