40 days ago on October 15 our National Carnival season for 2011-2012 was launched. This is supposed to be the biggest and best carnival ever, as I understand it, as we celebrate 40-years of national carnival in SKN. Sugar Mas 40:40 is expected to be 40-days [and hopefully 40-nights] of really hot carnival action. I am not sure if the action is being designed to be NON-STOP action, but sometimes our people can be quite surprising, and seem to have the ability to rise to any occasion. So we have to wait and see, but be careful with holding your breath. I am looking forward to Sugar Mas 40:40 officially opening tomorrow. Time have rolled around pretty quickly, and the last 40-days seem to have come upon us quicker than expected, and I suspect so too will the end of this carnival season 40 days down the road. Everybody gets their own personal amount of enjoyment  and  satisfaction from carnival. Carnival is a personal thing and what makes me happy may make you sad. So we all ...

It is hard to believe that Carnival is here again. It is harder to believe that 12 months have passed so quickly. It was just like yesterday we were dancing and prancing in our new creation Sugar Mas. Well, it is now time for the big one ... Sugar Mas 40, celebrating 40-years of National Carnival in SKN. We are expecting it to be bigger and better than last year, and we are going to judge it harshly, the Kittitian way... and trust me, some people done start to bad mouth the Carnival and it ain't even start yet. You see how some folks are just not with us. But we will show them that Sugar Mas 40 will deliver as promised. While we get ready for Carnival and the jollification that it brings, we hope that the hurting people will really get some ease from their burdens, no matter what types and kinds they are bearing. They know it better than me. At this time, everyone has something hard and difficult to deal with, and don't think that you have it harder and worst than your neighb...

Who is really right? Some folks say that 6 MP is the ideal camera, some say no, it needs for more MP than that. So who really correct? Is it that they running race with film? Maybe the minimum MP has to do with the application. I believe that the human mind can spin you a perfect image with the minimum of MP. You don't have to see anything to conjure up a picture. We put you in an alleged "haunted house" and you see who and what you want to see, crystal clear, and you get free sounds too. Maybe the camera is really for mind control, because some of us still do not believe the images that we see in black-and-white or color. This could call for research.

Many things make my SKN tick. I am not showing off, but there are things here that are hard to find elsewhere, in the natural, and we just have to give God thanks. If you are not a believer, give thanks to the supreme one, the source, the Creator, the Almighty, God. I am done with the long talk. You are here to see an image or two, but I just had to say something. I am not commenting on photos here, for that become my Facebook friend, see what others say and have your say too.

Some of our residents have caught on that photography is a significant component in our newly acquired lifestyle, or maybe more correctly, the lifestyle that we are now expected to accept and endure. I wish not to make it sound hard, because it is not, but some of us just have to make everything difficult, even if it is soft like water. I am of the view that the majority of us, if we haven't heard yet, are just into our Caribbean anti-change and anti-adoption mode, something our people sometimes do best. Laying the truth bare is not dissing anyone, but some of our honest and decent folks can't handle the truth and always go for a red herring first. Start at page one, lesson one, chapter one, entitled reality. If it is there in the real world it will be captured on film, digital or otherwise.

I was blogging in another space recently and had to mention the use that apply to a phase of my photography. I always refrain from any heavy topic which will always require research and the presentation of hard facts, because I have decided not to go that route as my blogging could then become a work, and for me, this blogging is not a work, but is done in fun, for fun, for my enjoyment and entertainment. It is for me, but if you can share in any of it, that is good too. I have an outlook and I am not trying to convince anyone or modify their world, but maybe you can see some of it from my perspective. Some people fear ending up on the wrong side of the photo street, but how do you know that all that you think you know may be on that wrong side of the photo street? I am not going to put anything to you, like some lawyer, but because you are the smart person that you are, I know you will be walking on the right side of the photo street, most, if not all the time. The laws and rules are...

I never completed my last blog following the State Funeral of the late Sir Clement Arrindell. Everything proceeded as expected and my camera got "attacked" twice. I believe I made comments elsewhere, maybe in captions of photos in the Facebook album. I am not trying to figure out how five [5] new and charged Camera batteries could all get discharged in shooting under 100 photos in my Canon EOS DSLR camera, when one charged battery usually shoot a few hundred photos. Anyway I had a secret battery [not stored with the working set] for deep emergency and that came to the rescue. In the hour break between Government House and the State Funeral Service at Wesley Methodist Church, all five batteries were recharged. I am not surprised that after charging only one battery was used to cover the rest of the Funeral, and taking more photos than at Government House. Some things are just unexplainable, and I am not taking time off my daily routine to explore these "supernatural"...
