skb day 20

Peace has finally been restored to our land of beauty, as we take a break before moving on to the next level.. We always had 'traditional' peace here, but it seems to me that for the last couple years some people tried to implement their brand of peace, probably in order to create a new skn environment. All that is now history, and skn goes into yet another history generating phase. I am of the view that EVERYTHING that has taken place, is taking place and will take place in our twin island Federation will impact our Caribbean and the world at large in ways we cannot begin to comprehend or imagine. This is not the first time nor will it be the last. 50,000 thousand people, 100 square miles, year 2015, 2020, 2025. 8-4-9-5.  I am getting to like the EOS-70D camera, being lighter than the EOS-7D, but whenever I feel a spray and see rain I have to scramble for a plastic bag. It is not water proof like the EOS-7D. I will get around to movies if and when it becomes necessary...

Election pep up

Image
Independence 31 celebrations came and went, just like that. We are now heading for Carnival, but some people seem to be of the view that elections will come first. I sincerely hope that the wolf callers are ready and set to go when the bell rings. All along the bell ringer has been saying that he is ringing his bell in 2015, but nobody wants to listen. Politics in skn continues, and some people are already calling foul, following the speechifying at the Independence Ceremonial Parade, held in the hottest Cricket Stadium of the region. We know as adults that we always need to have a plan "B", and a backup plan for that too, and not just because SKN is unlike any other Nation on planet earth. I have never taken pictures under stadium light until the CPL came to SKN.  I saw that shooting for the cricket played on the wicket is different to shooting in the crowd and what I think is called the out field. But I am pleased with the results I got, given the equipment I used. For...

Election countdown

The election countdown has started for those people who always in the know, but some on the sideline who are working with their mouth shut are counting up. I am not into counting up or down, and I am still listening to hear what better I will get now from this united front. I want it now, not next month or next year, and if you can't deliver it now, I am not interested in what gold and silver you claim will be given out later, if and only if, favour is found with the majority. I know what I have in my hand now, and I am not willing to open my hand and let that go, and hope that by chance I may be able to grab something else. I am not sure that even a monkey will open its hand to grab at something else. In my small days I read in a Caribbean Challenge magazine, that the monkeys were caught because they would not open their hand once it was caught in the trap. So it seems that I am already caught, and that ends the story. I do not waste my time to read what polls say because an...

Election a come

I like it here in St Kitts and Nevis. We are never short on excitement. Cricket ain't well finish, the know it all media is giving us a date for the General Elections in SKN, which are constitutionally due in 2015. I just love this place. Music can't done. Photography can't done either. News can't done. The never ending monthly excitement continues. I also hope we are getting just as excited over the second coming of the KING. There are many things to talk about in SKN, but when Federal elections are in the air, many of these life changing issues just get deleted, because the next government of the people is expected to usher in "a new thing", like heaven on earth. I have been around for a while and I am yet to see this happen. It may be true that some circumstances or situations improve, but the changes that the people really think that they want do not happen. And it is like the would be politicians forget what they told the constituents in the campaig...
