and another week to go. I've been in Barbados for a week now and have done a lot of nothing. I've been busy sending off emails to the Canadian photojournalists that I want to include in my portraiture exhibition project. So far I have three confirmed out of the twenty some odd names that I have on my list. Larry Towell has turned me down, but I'll come at him again later in the year. Chances are, and I am hoping, that he is simply too busy. I am told too that he is a rather shy person. Surprise surprise a shy photographer … part of the reason I'm trying to get them out in front of my camera. It is so easy to stay behind the camera rather than become the subject of it.
This time down I decided not to arrange a shoot while I am down here. I thought I'd give poor Michelle a break.
Can't say that I've done a lot either since I've been down here… mostly just kick back, relax. I've begun a habit of mid-afternoon naps. Now that is going to be hard to adjust to when I get back into the real world. I haven't even dragged my camera out of its bag much this time down … except yesterday when I decided to get my ass moving. I had begun to read an e-book titled The Evocative Image by Andrew S Gibson. I am always inspired by these sorts of books …. typical me I look through the images and then go back and read the accompanying text. Kind of like how I read the newspaper in the morning …. I flip to the comics page first and then go back to the front page…. and yes I always lick off the icing on an Oreo cookie before I eat the rest of it. I also soak my ginger snaps in my tea until they have the consistency of baby barf before I let then dissolve in my mouth .. TMI for sure !
I've been thinking of wandering down to the Weston Fish Market one morning and see if they'd mind me hanging around taking photos … or perhaps two depending on how things go. You might see images of dead fish and smiling people next …. in the mean time here is a photo of yet another sunset … I have to admit that I intensely dislike images of sunsets … OMG can they be boring, but people keep putting them up saying isn't this wonderful this was the sunset at my cottage last summer ….. aaaah gag me with a spoon ! Okay now that I've said how much I hate seeing yet another sunset photograph … here is mine. I apologise for being a sunset snob.
