This picture of the Anthem Of The Seas was made from under my moringa tree in the side yard, 108-feet ASL up on the hillside, overlooking Port Zante and the Caribbean Sea. This could be just shy of a mile from Port Zante, as the crow flies. Today I am walking about with a Canon EOS-70D equipped with an ef-s 18-200mm IS lens.  You might find it interesting to know what  http://www.dxomark.com revealed about this lens and all the other lenses and cameras that they tested over the years. Please keep in mind that Information is only beneficial when it is used intelligently. Please be 'guided' accordingly. We have reached the end of 01/2016, month one in 2016, rather quickly it seems. How are you doing with your new year resolutions, plans, or whatever you call them? In particular, those that pertain to any aspects of photography and imaging? I expect that some of us are in the hold position, because that is what plenty of us like to do, and then we are forced to carry over ...

This seems to be the action word for 2016. Everyone seem to feel that all aspect of life and living are picking up speed, or maybe more correctly, have picked up speed. Time just goes by so quickly, before you turn around, it is gone. I am no expert on time, but I do not believe that some things, like time can change on us just like that. 60 seconds will always be one minute, and 60 minutes will always be one hour. So how is it that you cannot now complete the same task in the same time as before? According to my scientist cousin Tony, is it that we are slowing down? What other answer is there? It sounds logical, that we get slower as we get older. That is why Bolt will not be forever the fastest man in the world. But that is an extreme case, and maybe a bad example. In a different area, this slowing down is upsetting, and causes stress, and breeds violence. Young people are not willing to tolerate the natural process of the slowing down of older people in service delivery. The...

Before I roll out today let me take a minute to update my blog. Yesterday afternoon as I stepped out onto my gallery, I was greeted by "the national weapons of mass destruction", a couple of lovable vervet monkeys on the wall across the street eating a mango. I just hope it was the first mango picked, bitten and liked. This mango season we will again hear the cries from fruit tree owners as these "weapons of mass destruction" make life difficult for some of us in their bid to continue surviving in fertile Liamuiga. I am of the view that it is time we send the monkey back to their homeland. They were brought here for a purpose which has since expired, and since they no longer serve that purpose, and we no longer need them here send them back home. I hope today is a monkey free day for me. In a recent video documentary they claimed that there are more monkeys than people in our islands. I do not believe that it is too late for us to do something about the e...

Well, the general elections have come and gone, and nothing has changed. People always seem to feel that everything will turn up, over, or upside down every five years, when the people who feel they are best suited to manage the affairs of the nation, make a bid so to do. Maybe for some people some things do change, but in reality, nothing changes. Life continues the same, nothing extra is added. We will still eat, sleep, shit and die, the same way, election or no election. Am I wrong? Some will eat more, sleep less, be constipated, but we will all die when the time has come to go. This is just a fact of life, and no need to worry or get upset. This election was not without FREE concerts, but as a senior citizen, I did not have the  desire to damage my health in any way by being out all night, and having to resist the temptation of drinking anything harder than lemonade. I did not see many pictures online from these events, though I suspect that many cell phone/cameras capt...

Today, July 1, marks the beginning of the rest of 2014 and I am indeed grateful to be still here to share some of the little that I know and do with someone. “Thanks be to GOD”. Some of us are here for the thousands but I am most pleased to be here for the ‘one’. Sometimes we know who that ‘one’ may be, sometimes we don’t. To me it does not matter who you are, but it matters that you get what is meant for you. Complicated? Nope!  We are all here on this planet to help someone else, solve a problem, overcome a difficulty, share a knowing smile, give a word, or do something amazing, that to us may seem insignificant. Some us try our hardest not to give away anything,  even though ”LIFE” has been giving to us abundantly. We cannot reap what we do not sow, but some of us do, with a great measure of success. This is nothing new, maybe it is human nature at its best, or if you are on optimist, maybe at its worst. I do not make ‘new year’ resolutions, as it will waste my tim...

I don't feel like blogging today, but my new Facebook page puts my blog url in plain view, and knowing how inquisitive we human beings are, it pressured me to pen something positive. I do not have any problem saying what I think and how I feel, but  I am mindful of how I say it, because so many people these days have developed a thinner skin, and so many others are not blessed with the ability to discern, and so many more just have no clue what is really going on. So it is with the greatest of respect that I carefully say what I have to, and if you are wise, and in the know, you will follow along, but if you do not catch it at first, don't worry, you will catch up in good time as you become privy to more information and data. Given the politics in SKN, I have people who will insist on getting my views on certain happenings and goings on in our Federation. My response is not what most of them wish to hear, but yet they ask, knowing my response. Just in case you never hear...
