It has become a trend, that wherever I wield my camera, I collide with dreadlocked men who think I have the power to help them fulfill their hopes. A week ago, I met a man who was searching for love, and on Saturday I met another who was searching for a power saw.
I often visit Milk River Hotel & Spa in Clarendon, Jamaica and on each occasion I meet Alvin Morgan, or Prince, a man famous for having befriended the crocodiles and infamous for the potent roots drinks he prepares and sells. On my first visit, I was very enthusiastic to see the crocodiles and asked one of the spa’s attendants about a river tour. I was informed that there was no river tour, but Prince could call them [the crocodiles] for me.
He did manage to get one crocodile to surface, but on subsequent visits he refused “true dem a kill off the people dem.”
So, on Saturday Prince spotted my companion and got him to buy some of his roots. When I caught up with them, Prince was expectantly posing with a bottle of bitters; I was inordinately polite and asked him if I could take his picture. “Me think you take it a’ready,” was his response. “Big me up so me can get lucky, you hear,” Prince continued while I photographed him, “cause anything possible.”
I wasn’t exactly sure what his intended luck was, until he resumed his conversation with my companion [see videos below].
Prince explained that the condition of the road to Milk River had reduced the number of visitors to the bath, thus affecting the sales on his roots drinks. He desires the mobility of a motorcycle in order to take his product to Portmore, but first he needs a power saw.
Below Prince shares success stories of his roots designed to boost male and female fertility.
I certainly hope Prince acquires the motorcycle, although I don’t support what he intends to do with the power saw. If you would like to buy some roots drinks or assist Prince with getting a motorcycle, feel free to contact him at +1-876-461-0576

I havnt been down there in about a year or so but the drive down wasn’t pleasant at all… hope he gets wat he needs to sort out him life still.
Yes, Biggz, the road was indeed terrible. It has been in a state of disrepair since ever. There is a 100m section ahead and after the newly constructed bridge that could pass for Highway 2000, though.
I’ve always wondered at how effective those roots drinks really are. Or how much better than Dragon they are.
This is really nice. A very easy read and deals with issues of the ordinary man plus an avenue to help if so desired.
I like…

A truly dedicated and insightful “young man”. May his wishes be granted and his smile never cease. Still amazed by his gold teeth..(look closely)
I kept wondering why he was pointing at the teeth, then I finally saw when I viewed the large version of the picture. Did you get any shots of him, David?
It seems these dredlock guys have a liking for you..lol..
