Black Friday again

Image
Another 'black Friday' is here. I never bothered to Google search 'black Friday' because the quality of our 'black Friday' is determined by our state of mind. The color 'black' or that which is referenced as 'black' have its crowd. There are those of us who live in 'black' clothes, and we will tell you that 'it works for us'. For another set of persons 'black' is the the embodiment of things 'evil'. It is all a matter of personal opinion, but black for me is expressive of some things to do with photography, and it is all good, nothing psycho, nothing evil, nothing superstitious ... so, black Friday will not impact negatively on my photography in any way. But if you are superstitious don't wear black, and keep out of the sun. Be like a vampire and stay in the dark of 'black Friday'. I am now a rogue photographer since I no longer adhere to the 'prescribed' rules of photography. Incidental

No!! I am not missing-in-action nor am I missing any action. I purposefully missed posting here in May, but I did not miss any action or activity in May. I felt that I should not upset the viewers who are allergic to bright colours like RED. May is a RED month for some people. Some wear it on their back, while others just "see" it, and some may even get traumatized by it [because they want to], and the smattering of yellow between the red in any crowd, really makes for a good snap. But it does far more than that. It tells me that we are much better than we know we are, and can really live in peace and harmony, irrespective of our differences, political or otherwise. It shows too that we are in our lane, and we just need to STAY in our lane, not cause any ruckus, and all will be well in SKN. But we love drama, and without it we do not seem to be happy. We are now into the holiday months until 2013. Every month of the year following Easter we have a holiday, holidays and hol

It is a good thing when the youths of today get involved in wholesome activities like sports. I was rather surprised one Sunday when my son, Vidal, asked me if I was coming to Basket Ball City to take some pictures of "his" team. Of course I had to show support, skipped my already late lunch, and  made my way to the court. After all these years some things don't change. As motivation, I must say that there is significant improvement, but will not quantify that here. When I win the lotto I will seek to sponsor this team, and pay them a salary. I don't think any more motivation than that is required.   The Deputy Prime Minister and a former Minister of Sport accompanied by the Queens of Carnival inspect and greet the basketball teams. Boy, some big money passing in this sport. That is all I will say about this. Something is working in and for basketball. The brand new US$25,000.00 clock. I wonder if it is because the Minister of Sport was a "Profe

The excitement in SK continued. I see more locals youths riding bikes, but they do not look anything like these. They make a high pitched sound and disappear around a corner or in the distance, before you even recognize that you heard them. I grew up with a "Trail 90" and never graduated to the 375. This biking is all related to the tourism product. I know your question, but I am no analyst so I am staying out of that discussion. Given the size of SKN, this could be the local bike of choice. I can visualize cruising around SK .... at 32 miles per hour I am back home in 60-minutes. Gosh at the "Ninja" speed I am back home before I leave. WOW!!! To really enjoy SK Harley travel 4 miles per hour maybe about right. I wonder what size gas tanks are fitted? Anyone in favour of a pedal bike with an assistance motor? I thing that is the lifestyle model, for seniors like me. Anyway it is nice to see SK still moving and attracting. Of course we are attracting a heck o
