Another week has gone by. Last week it was May and next week it is July. You sure somebody not playing around with a time machine? Maybe what you see on syfy these days could be the real thing, but they have to make it look like fantasy until we get comfortable with it, then someone somewhere will seek to reveal and expose, sparking controversy and discussion, and somebody[s] will make a million dollars on the side. Orchestration and management are best buddies, but you are not to small to try-a-thing in your corner of the world, the problem is that your partner-in-crime is going to want 51% from your idea, and if you are not careful it is back to Cain and Abel again. It works every time.. So what is happening in this corner. Photographically. I am not getting to "continue" with some blogs, but you really don't want all the details so no big thing there, and I am supposed to be posting photos not keeping up any long talk ... but I like letting off. The problem today is

Let me first publicly thank my Facebook photographer brothers and sisters for tagging me in their photos. I feel honored ... but since they have opened the door and invited me into their photography, I cannot resist the temptation to make a few positive comments on and about the "tagged photos" and the photography. Constructive criticism is positive feedback, but many of our Caribbean people still can't handle that, especially when the comments are made in public, or in private and then later publicized. I do not critique nor do I provide constructive criticism. I am not in any position to asses your creative photographic expression and presentation, but I can have a view as to how I would re-work a presentation, to my taste. It is not unlike some tasty Caribbean food, to which some folks just have to add "hot pepper sauce" to zap it up to their taste. I think you catch where I am coming from. Next, let me also thank the viewers to my Facebook photo albums, th

I was just perusing an old blog from last month with snaps made after dark, and it occurred to me that none of these pictures have been doctored or "touched up" in any way by Photoshop or Lightroom. I am now asking myself why do I have the Adobe Creative Suite and even Lightroom 3, when I am using the image straight from the "set-it-and-forget-it" RAW image converting software. I guess that I have this top-of-the-line and cutting-edge-software so that I can be like a "Jones", or maybe a friend of the "Jones's", or maybe I should just be able to say that I have it, as not having it might make me a lesser entity in the photographic eyes of the world. So as a typical Caribbean person I just can't have my money sitting there and I am not getting anything from it, so I may now have to see about 'getting my money's worth' from these software ... but herein lies the dilemma. I don't know if it is because I may be old and somewh

You often hear people say "he who feels it knows it" and we usually agree. It is not that we have ever been in that person's shoes, nor even anywhere near to them kind of shoes. We all have our own shoes to wear and "cross to bear" as we sojourn on planet earth, accompanied by the complains we have to make about life, irrespective of how good it is to us. I think that life is more than fair to the most of us, but when we seek to extract over and above what we have put in, and it is not readily forthcoming, we like to bawl foul. It is a people thing, one of the many things that we come and meet and will go and leave behind. In life there comes a time when one may has to unlearn and relearn, and many of us don't take to kindly to that, especially when we are in and above the "mid-life" zone. Mid-life I put at 35, half-way to the three-score and ten promised in the "Bible" [KJV]. I was around when computers were introduced into the workpla

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
