I saw this recently, but I didn’t get a great shot…. I have to go back at different times of day and different lighting situations… it has some potential…

2015 Deck – Week 47
Between trying not to get run over on the busy East Bank Public Road, heeding the warnings from the workmen that I was in their way, and trying to get to my vehicle across the now doubly busy road, I was also trying to get a good photo. This was one of those occasions when you can see the finished photo in your mind’s eye, and as you click the button you’re just praying that it comes up to scratch.
It’s not as sharp as I’d like, but since I was on the move, I’m happy with what I did get 😀

2015 Deck – Week 46
A different scent
in the air,
sounds of birds,
fishermen toil;
Clouds adrift
upon the horizon,
a distant sun
in heaven’s vault.
The moon upon
the oceans pull,
the fish upon
the tide at play;
Meandering shore,
of rocks and
mangroves,
shore of sand,
mud and life,
Oniabo I hear,
the sea, it calls,
Oniabo I fear,
the sea, it calls!
Oniabo is the name I have given to a currently ongoing Black and White Seascape collection of photographs. Oniabo is an Arawak word meaning “water”; the selection that I used for a presentation at Moray House Trust can be seen here.
A video of that presentation can be seen alongside other presentations of The Photography Sessions at Moray House Trust at www.ThePhotographySessions.com

2015 Deck – Week 45
A walk on the seawall… or at this point, the dam that has rocks beyond it.
Maybe not appealing on an artistic level to many, but to Guyanese, it has some appeal 😀

2015 Deck – Week 44
When I took this, the man who looked after the fields was rapidly approaching us… with tools in hand, so I didn’t even try multiple exposures; I knew that by shooting into the sun I’d blow the highlights, but it’s something I could live with, just to get this scene.
That tractor is probably twice my age, and it takes a lickin’ and keeps on tickin’.

2015 Deck – Week 43
This was one of those photos when you’re very glad you noticed the subject/scene and that you had a phone handy that had a decent camera built-in.
I suppose the “not-so-fast” fast food service helped by giving me the opportunity to sit and wait, and in waiting notice the shot 🙂

There I was, sitting at a table in the fast-food delivery section of the New Thriving Chinese Restaurant on Main Street, when I noticed the reflection of the backlit Menu on the glass table top, pretty much could not resist taking the photo.

2015 Deck – Week 42
Following a week of hospitalization, I had another couple weeks of confinement to Barracks. As it happens this first week in my comfortable cell (house and yard, but mostly the bedroom) was even more productive for me and Instagram. 🙂
Here’s a view from my bedroom… complete with the wrought iron barrier for the prison-like feeling 🙂

Alone & Waiting
Somewhere on the inter-tidal plains
Sitting, waiting…
For Selene to pull
and mother Earth to roll.

2015 Deck – Week 35
There are times when you take a photo and know right away that you’ll love it; whether anyone else might, that’s a different question, but so far this one has turned out to be pretty well liked.
For those of us still living here and for many of those Guyanese living abroad… this is probably iconic of some areas of Georgetown.

2015 Deck – Week 33
I climbed onto the seawall to see what I could photograph, and a voice coming from near my feet surprised me. This fellow was packing up some items in a bag. He thought I was a foreigner, but the minute I answered him he realised I was local.
According to him, he has lived along the seawall for most of his life, he doesn’t have a regular job, he does odd-jobs, but he says he finds everything he needs to survive right there on the seawalls. Although I’m not sure about him finding “everything”, I saw no reason to doubt he finds most of what he needs 😀
