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...

Greetings, Happy New Year, Welcome to my photo blog for 2017, never mind that we are closer to year end than beginning. I post pictures almost every day on Facebook but somehow scribing a few words here just slipped my mind.  This should be a pretty active year but I will try to be brief and keep out of trouble. The only troublesome 'thing' in skn is politics, and I am keeping out of that. These days everything has a political flavour, but I am trying very hard not to be contaminated, maybe touched is a better word, so as to maintain my sanity. Speaking of sanity, it appear to me that insanity is on the rise as more people get themselves involved in some aspect of politics. I would add 'that does not concern them', but many would disagree with that, as the feeling seem to be that everything about politics concerns everyone.  I don't mean to sound insensitive, but I believe that we should let the politicians be themselves and do what they do best. I do not see u...

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...

After today there are 67 days remaining in this year. No one is certain that they will see tomorrow, but with FAITH in GOD and a HOPE for a long LIFE we plan for the future with a certain degree of reckless abandon. We all need to take a moment to consider our every action, especially the effect on each other. Knocking ourself about is okay, if that brings us joy, but indiscriminately sharing that kind of joy to our neighbour should not be your prime focus. Unfortunately, some neighbours agree that is the correct approach for this new age we live in, and insist on foisting this new attitude upon the rest of us. Fortunately, some people say that we deserve better, but in this world it is not about saying so, but doing so, putting our mouth into gear, and also our hands if necessary.  If you know where I am coming from, I am happy for you. SKN is one of the best places in the world to live, anytime. There is a formula to live by, and it works in every country on the planet. Pe...
