In looking through one of my photography Facebook Groups I notice a member's complaint, and I can feel his pain. ""GIVING IT UP ? - I’ve been seriously thinking of giving up this entire photography business and selling out. I’ve literally seen weddings being photo’s and filmed with iPhones and even streamed with multiple ones. I think the whole business is about to make a major shift in marketable content as content providers continue to search for (and acquire) lower cost solutions for their clients. One cannot continue to “upgrade” while the market continues to downgrade $$$. It’s a losing battle. Perhaps this is the year?"" Almost everyone goes through this phase. Some of us were more fortunate than others, but this is a reality and we need to help the brothers and sisters in photography overcome this mindset. We may be surprised at the Google response to posting that whole paragraph, in its entirety. To get a feel for this, Google the paragraph and see for y...

Liverpool Row, Basseterre, St Kitts It is a beautiful day in skb. Just had breakfast, one helping of oats with two bananas, raisins and cinnamon, sweetened by honey and sprinkled with Moringa powder food supplement. As you may know I eat my Moringa food supplement every day, except on Sunday. Friends tell me that a person has to fast at least one day in the week. And it seems to be working for me. While I am on the topic of Moringa, let me say emphatically, that I would not be walking around today without the help of Moringa, grown in SKB and created by GOD. I see many of my friends, associates, and haters,   who I believe could benefit from the LIFE giving quality of Moringa.   I must always thank my neighbour Eudora for bringing Moringa to my attention. You don't have to wait until you feel sick, take your Moringa daily, and don't leave home without it. SKN is doing great. We have been through Independence 35 and the storms have passed down south. SKN continue ...

Greetings How is your photography going for 2018? Every now and then I meet some school kids, especially school girls, who have an interest in photography. Many of them lament that they do not have a "conventional" camera, and claim that may be   stopping their photographic growth. I take a minute to remind them that almost everyone in skb is walking around with a camera inside their phone, and that many professional photographers are now using their phones to take their professional pictures at weddings and other events. Their skb phones may not be the powerful Iphone6S, but it can take pictures, very good pictures, and it is a great starting point. It is not all about the photographic device, but about the person behind the device, and their knowledge and application of the photographic principles. So my question above is targeted at the school children who express interest in photography. How is your photography going for 2018? Skb, like every place on our pla...

Greetings. May you continue to prosper and be in great health for 2018. This will not be my one and only post for this year. There are many things that we need to address in our bright and beautiful skn. Maybe my pictures can help to remind us that we are not an island unto ourselves. I am not getting into any long explanation, and if you find the picture I post not to your taste, you have a problem with it,  please go and watch someone else picture, and have yourself a nice day. Recently I am spending my time on the Bay Road and viewing the action in the Bay. I can see Port Zante from where I live up on the hillside, but someone built a 3 storey house on Sprott Street and blocked my view. No problem. I planned to build a 'charlie breadfruit tower' in my backyard but the cost is prohibitive, so I have gone to plan B. Taking the short 7 minutes walk down to the Bay Road. From the Bay Road I can view all the action in the Bay, from the West side of Port Zante down to F...

It is a beautiful July morning, nice and cool, and a lovely day for cricket. I am not a die hard cricket fan, but I am doing my stint of 'patriotic' with my full support for the St Kitts Patriots. I expect them to share licks, and more licks on their home turf ... and let the party continue. Photography is still alive and well in SKN. On a personal note, I have changed my diets and exercise routines and I am feeling 21 again, and giving my GOD all the Thanks, Glory and Praise. Great health is what makes our life worth living, but many of us don't seem to know until 'the doc' tells us so. With all the free health information posted on Facebook these days, I perceive that many folks are looking more seriously at health, not necessarily 'their own health", but it is a step in the right direction.  Cautiously trying out a things or two may not be that bad for some of us. I tried out the "warm lemon water with honey first thing in the morning...

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...

Many 'things' received their head recently. skn is finally in election mode. The 6th and 16th are expected to be historic days. All days are historic as long as you can talk about it. Yesterday was an historic day, as was the day before. The 17th will be an historic day and our skn will continue to be a better place. It is not us who have placed skn where it is, and with or without us, skn will continue to prosper, and our people will have the greatest of health if they would only follow the principles of nature for longevity. As to photography in this 'crazy' time of electioneering campaigns, which rival and even outdo carnival in many respects, I suspect the focus can be an aspect of 'candid portraiture', as some participants will display uncontrolled emotions at various times in the lifetime of the campaign. The carnival spectators are now the participants at election functions, the only thing lacking is a competition and pageant for king and queen, but t...
