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...

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...

We live in exciting times, and the times in SK are indeed exciting. Of course it all depends on what excites us, because what is joke to one person could be death to another. I believe that anything pertaining to life is indeed serious, but we have to learn not just to see the humour in life and living, but to be able to laugh about it, and laugh very hard too. Life is short and we need to live it to the fullest. We all need to exercise daily, and maybe senior citizens more so. I see many senior citizens who I suspect are in dire need of exercise, and I really feel it for them. There was a time that I fell into the non-exercise rut, and it got deep the more I tried to get out. No one was helping, I don't even believe that many persons know that exercise is to be taken in the same proportion like food and water. These are three of the main ingredients for living and longevity, but no one is telling us about exercise. Exercise is a natural process like drinking and eating. ...

A quiet week as we prepare for Carnival, Christmas, 2015 .. and elections too.  The judge feels that two week after the revelry ends is the time to give the matter attention. Well, she is in charge, and everybody have plenty time to get ready. The radio DJ said that the PM riddle date is falling on the day after the birth date, which happens to be five days earlier than the judge's date. A lot of numbers are playing. Question is, who is going to win? Everybody running things. Or more correctly, running their own thing. People have a way of forgetting that there is a Supreme One, the Master, the Creator, GOD. I need not say anything else. If you don't know or don't believe it is a matter for you. We will see how this "matter" pans out in time to come. This past week was quiet, not devoid of the usual last days events, and excitement which follow these events. Wickedness and injustice continue to run wild in the world. It is not that we did not know, but some o...

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...
