Since my last blog post, Meshach and I have done some more trips to the Seawall, with great company I might add - notably Annalise Bayney and Kwesi Isles.
Our last walk was on the Kingston Beach and Jetty where we met Mr. Mahadeo, a popsicle man selling on a modified motorbike, and with a pleasant personality - he turned out to be more than just an intriguing subject, but helped us all create a memorable experience with his conversation and stories of the past.
I managed (somewhat luckily) to grab a decent shot of him handing me a popsicle. Not long afterwards, we were greeted with a stunning sunset. Great day.
Saturday I took a drive out to the Kingston Beach, Bandstand area. I had just planned to take a walk to clear my mind facing the ocean, and take a few photos during the process.
Photography is great - it allows you to focus on the process instead of dwelling on other thoughts you may have occupying your mind.
Usually, when I head out there, I try to see what unique images I can compose since I’ve shot the same location countless times over the years. I generally come away with similar scenes to ones I’ve shot before, but recently I want to focus more on recording the moments as I want to remember them, and as authentically as possible. I want to record Guyana as it is - something for posterity, something for us.
