With The World For A Year!

            Working on the beach in The Dominican Republic

Whether one is working with a bride or with a dive instructor, as in the shot above, the principle remains the same…How to manipulate light to best flatter your subject, and how to make your subject appear 3 dimensional in a two dimensional print.

A small group of us received exactly such training from Canadian Master Photographer, Craig Minielly, who simply loves the effects that can be achieved with a number of Nikon flashes all communicating with each other to deliver the exact light balance programmed to each one directly from the flash atop the camera.

The ability to do this is to my mind, one of Nikon’s crowning achievements in recent times.

                Lifestyles of the Rich & Famous

This private villa on the Caribbean Island of Mustique shows why it’s considered the playground of the rich & famous.

For perspective compare the size of the pickup to the left of this house!

      Rita & Ziggy Marley with America’s First Family

You will notice today that my picture post does not come with my signature fuchsia border, and that is because this isn’t my picture.

However when I received this picture as a forward from a fellow St. Lucia photographer I just had to share it.

Pictured here with America’s First Family are Rita Marley, wife of legendary Reggae Superstar, Bob Marley, and their first son Ziggy.

I have often thought of Bob and Elvis in the same breathe as two great and legendary singers/entertainers.  But in my mind I have always given Bob the edge because he has been, in my mind, the entertainer who gave the world A Music…that music being Reggae.  And that, to my mind, is no small feat.

It is interesting to note that while the whole world speaks of Bob Marley, Jamaicans simply say Bob.  And they say it with such a reverence that there is no mistaking of whom they speak when they utter that name.

And now one more legend has joined that fold…Michael Jackson!

So with this picture that I have so liberally borrowed, and shared, I salute three legends of music…

Elvis, Bob & Michael…May their souls Rest In Peace as we continue to enjoy their timeless music.

                     Petite St. Vincent in the Grenadines

Some time ago a friend arranged for me to do a day trip to the Grenadines, just south of St. Lucia, and boy it was like stepping into a whole new world.  Take a look at this tiny island and the clarity of the water and you see what I mean…
