.. another historical chapter today

History unfolds continuously, but those given to recording it pick and choose which fragments they perceive to be necessary for future applications. In these modern times we seem not to be given to looking to far into the future, it is like we live only in the present. That is good because it is what we do in the present that would determine our future, but it also creates the historical past that many of us would not wish to recall, never mind to relive, but it exists, and we took great pains to create it, and then try to justify it after a fashion, with expressions like "in hind sight".

Well today is just another day that will be recorded in history. Some people's names will also make it into the 'history books' because it is thought to be important that future generations know about this and subsequent events. But no matter what happens on the National scene one should try to impact their own personal history files every day by creating and making events that are life changing and as far reaching as they can possibly be, without being dramatic or melodramatic.

Well it is polling day in the Federation of St Kitts and Nevis and it is coming up to poll opening time 6.00 am and I want to be early so I am out of here. The outdoor temperature is 72.5 degrees F, and to leave the inside warmth of 83.1 degrees F is not such a mind boggling thought, because it is imperative that one perform their civic duty, without fear or favour.

Today I plan to make history too, because I have never taken pictures on any polling day before and I have witnessed some 8 or so national election campaigns. I don't know what I am going to capture, but when the images present themselves I will know and let my fingers do the squeezing and my blog can continue later with a few interesting snapshots.

Tomorrow is going to be another day and a public holiday for celebrating the victorious, and maybe the rest of the week too, but we just have to wait and see what prize or surprise the voters will seek this time around.

Have a great day, and if you ever have an opportunity to vote for anything, take it, because there are some folks on the planet who can't and never will, and how they wish they could. Some of us just don't know and appreciate how very fortunate we are.

See you in a bit.

doing something wrong

Image
I must be dong something very wrong when more than one or two or three persons on Facebook find to ask me what camera I am using to take the pictures that are posted to my Facebook photo albums. If I was doing the right thing I believe that nobody would have asked at all. I am of the view that my photos are looking normal even though I have not run them through Photoshop or Lightroom, which seem to be hailed as the professional photographic software that separate the men from the boys, or rather the professionals from the amateurs and/or whoever else, in the field of photographic reproduction. I am just making a 'comeback' into photography and really don't have the time to tangle with Photoshop and its alleged steep learning curve. I still have to learn why I must use Photoshop to alter the reality captured by my camera. Nature has spoken, but the thinking seems to be that Nature has erred and we must therefore fix it, to what we believe to be the right thing. I could see

Photo school indeed!!!!

I believe that Facebook is a rather nice place to 'lime' if and when you don't have anything better to do. If because a person would always have something better to do, like sleep, instead of Farming at 2, 3 and 4 o'clock in the morning. When is your consciously controlled time to 'lime' with your Facebook friends and family. The Facebook addiction may be a reality but nobody is taking that on these days. It may be better to be facing-the-book than out on the street, and getting into trouble, because that usually finds you especially when you least expect it. The Government of St Kitts and Nevis should be pleased to see so many of our people Facebook farming, and I hope that when they drop this interest in the real world, they are prepared to deal with the Agricultural revolution. I have relatives who have already invested in hydroponic equipment to precipitate some cyber farming into the real world. I am concerned that we may soon see a migration to the real F

12 MP could be better

Image
Who is really right? Some folks say that 6 MP is the ideal camera, some say no, it needs for more MP than that. So who really correct? Is it that they running race with film? Maybe the minimum MP has to do with the application. I believe that the human mind can spin you a perfect image with the minimum of MP. You don't have to see anything to conjure up a picture. We put you in an alleged "haunted house" and you see who and what you want to see, crystal clear, and you get free sounds too. Maybe the camera is really for mind control, because some of us still do not believe the images that we see in black-and-white or color. This could call for research.
