Sometime ago I did a shoot with talented and revered reggae artist Taj Weekes. We created some amazing images. A few of these images have been published in the London based magazine Kreol Magazine(Here). The article on Taj, "Taj Weekes, A portrait" starts on page 50.

I want to wish Taj all the best with his new album, 'Pariah in Transit' (check out HERE. He is such a talented song writer and singer. In my books he's up there with the greats like Marley, Tosh and Wailer. A live album is cool because nothing beats live performance. It has a vibe to it.

Here are the magazine spreads:

Ripples on glassy water

I am posting an oldie today. Many years ago I shot this at the pond in front the Auberge Seraphin Hotel. It was August 2008. Time flies... The bird, a water foul as it's called seems like it is floating on a sea of glass, with the foliage abstractly reflected. The presence of the bird sends ripples through the pond much the same way our actions send ripples through the lives of others. We were made to influence the atmosphere. What's the impact of your influence?

I had a great time shooting sunsets this week. I would like to share at least two with you. Monday's sunset was shot from the town of Gros Islet. Great place for photography. St Lucia is just filled with so many great places for photography. I love it. I also love that time of the day when everything seems to slow down - Sunset. Yet many of us seem to be so busy wrapping things up with work that we often miss these beautiful displays of nature. When was the last time you sat and enjoyed a sunset? Maybe these photos will encourage to you go out and enjoy the show that natures puts on every single day.

The second photo was taken today at Tapion. This is my place to just think, meditate and be grateful!

I do hope you enjoyed these.

Looking up...

It's always good to be looking up. On Sunday I did just that as I walked the Union Forest Trail on the beautiful Isle of St Lucia that I call home. I was in search of images of trees, more particularly, the cedar tree which is blossoming right now. I really had a fun time. Hiking is one of my favorite past times. I always seem to come back from this particular trail with beautiful images. So I'm still looking up...Enjoy
