Friday afternoon roadside advert on my street January almost half gone, and I am just getting here  ... Happy New Year. Sugar Mas 48 was a big surprise and it caught me off guard. What I expected and planned for did not come.   Life is like that. We plan for things because we believe that we know, but we cannot take all the variables into consideration, because there is always that one unknown elusive factor, which holds the key to the result that we expect. In time we learn to live with the results, unfortunately, some of us never learn to re-adjust our mentality to suit the new environment. But SKB is a place where the impossible does not exist for all those of the correct mindset. In Sugar Mas 48 I missed seeing some photographers who have been here making pictures and videos over the last decade or so. From my corner I saw that there was a 50% increase of photographers, and I mean youths with DSLR cameras. These days everybody is a photographer because their...

Election pep up

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.

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. SIDF. GAS

I am very cautious when words like SEXY are used to describe our Federation or any part of it. Given that some people are more into an election mode than others, it is quite possible for some of us to invent the most uncomplimentary phrases, in our attempt to score 'political' points. This is nothing new, and something we learn to endure every election season. We know that every generation is smarter than the last, but the same dumbness, of certain aspect of 'the politics' just seem to creep and follow. It may appear as the most insult to our intelligence, but at the end of the day it seems quite acceptable to be a part of the election flavour. Nobody feel no way, but it is something that someone needs to look at, if we are ever to change the culture that some people speak so passionately about. Unfortunately, it would appear that we still must try not to take it personal, it is just how business is done in this season. But whenever the opportunity comes our way to m...
