skb day 255



Independence 32 is here ... next week.

I was expecting to hear and see ground breaking changes to the 'routines' surrounding this annual celebration.  Maybe it is just me, but I really expected some spectacular things for Independence 32, that would put last year's 31 in the shade. However, I am hopeful that Independence 33 will be the best year ever, given its 12 months of planning rather than 6.

Independence provides many picture taking opportunities for residents and visitors, but it seems to me that only a few persons recognize this. The average resident is not wasting any photo memory in recording these historic national events for any reason at all. I have gone pass trying to figure this out, and leave this one for the social scientists. Ten thousand persons attended the Independence Parade. Everybody had a camera of some sort, but only the official photographers and a handful of enthusiastic viewers sought to capture images of the 'once in a lifetime' event. Are we missing something? Are we not ready yet? Are we doing the right thing?

So, will this September 19th be like any other September 19th in times past or will it be different? I expect it to be significantly different. I expect that most of us would wish to see and capture our skn history as it is being made live and direct. I expect that we will have more pictures and videos this year, than we know what to do with, as we celebrate this event.

Our Liamuiga green has returned to skb in time for our Independence. At this time we also celebrate the peak of the hurricane season, and lucky for us this is the time most guaranteed to bring water on our islands. It may not be by accident that our Independence Day is September 19th, even though some people would seriously wish it not to be. I believe that there was no better day.

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.
