Carnival again ...

It is hard to believe that Carnival is here again. It is harder to believe that 12 months have passed so quickly. It was just like yesterday we were dancing and prancing in our new creation Sugar Mas. Well, it is now time for the big one ... Sugar Mas 40, celebrating 40-years of National Carnival in SKN. We are expecting it to be bigger and better than last year, and we are going to judge it harshly, the Kittitian way... and trust me, some people done start to bad mouth the Carnival and it ain't even start yet. You see how some folks are just not with us. But we will show them that Sugar Mas 40 will deliver as promised.

While we get ready for Carnival and the jollification that it brings, we hope that the hurting people will really get some ease from their burdens, no matter what types and kinds they are bearing. They know it better than me. At this time, everyone has something hard and difficult to deal with, and don't think that you have it harder and worst than your neighbour. Many people may look like they are smiling, but that is just for you, when their back is turned you do not see the tears streaming down their cheeks. It is the reality of the hard world in which we live today, and some of us a just barely surviving.

Carnival may bring a bit of joy, happiness and hope into our life as we appreciate the season, with the merriment and mirth that exist and seem to abound. For a moment or two we can feel the drum beat in our soul and imagine we are in another dimension, maybe smiling with the stars. Nothing lasts forever, but joy comes in the morning. Make the most of today, enjoy yourself as if it is your last, because right now is all that we are really sure about.

My plan for this season is to take it slow and easy, and enjoy the best of the season. Some shows I will miss and others I will hope not to. Moderation is the key. Some folks believe that they have to be in everything, everywhere, all the time. I am with you in spirit, so do it for you and for me. Go easy on the drinks, and don't ever think of driving.

Now let me go see what I have to clean, fix, and make ready for Saturday and our Sugar Mas 40.

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.
