Carnival 50.


 I was begining to look out for CARNIVAL 50, even though it was not going to be anything like what we have grown accustomed to over the years, but it would be something rather than nothing, but now the people in charge are putting certain "things" on pause because another "strain" is supposedly on the loose. I do not have any problem with cancelling anything, and changing plans and programs in the public interest, because we should expect this action from people who are trying their very best to err on the side of caution, and to keep our nation safe. However, nothing has been said yet about the possible effects of the "strain"on our CARNIVAL 50 which is running in de bubble.

It is very strange that this or similar action did not apply to the International Cricket hosted in SKB just  months ago, where our safety was tried, tested and proven with a real community spread in the thousands, during the tournament period, but evasive action is already put in place, and nothing of this new strain is on the horizon for SKB. These DECISIONS and ACTIONS do not add up. Maybe the science is to advanced for me. I may be missing something. Maybe they are right, and for their sake I hope they are. Anyway, what goes around comes around, and comes around harder. This old saying seems to be quite true, so we will just have to wait. 

SKB carnival may be paused, put on hold, or whatever, but I suspect that it will not be cancelled, as that could be politically incorrect. To cancel this Carnival may not go down well with the constituents. This carnival could be a test and demo for the FUTURE. This presents a FIRT for many things, a taste of what may be coming. In the past carnival made its income from gate receipts, but going virtual could now be icing. Carnival is not just about all the inhouse activities but those on the streets, troupes and more. Let us see if these outdoor activities are scheduled for Carnival 50. I am an optimist and suspect that we shall have our old style CARNIVAL back in full within the next year,  two [2] years at most.

Carnival is about photography, pictures and videos. I FEEL carnival by the DEPTH of the street activities. No street activities, no "feel". So what will the photographers do? Photographers are all persons [spectators] who have a device [camera, cell phone, etc] to record images and/or videos. SKB is beautiful all year round, but the happiness, peace and joy is reflected in the commercial enterprises which support the season. Will they, the business houses, be that reflective this year? We just have to wait and see. This is the first Christmas in the "new normal" environment, and we must pay very close attention to every single thing that moves. The future of our CARNIVAL could depend on it.

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.
