Some people are very passionate about classic cars and motorbikes. Others are passionate about music and the arts. My passion is Photography.
To me, Photography is capturing the moment, the reactions of human beings in their daily life. When I was growing up, I remember I always had my 110mm or 126mm film camera with me and I would photograph almost anything.
I come from Trinidad and Tobago, a twin-island republic in the Caribbean, and for many years, in my role as a photographer for local newspapers, I have covered the news as it unfolds.But living on an island as culturally diverse as T&T, there have also been opportunities to photograph so much more. I enjoy shooting people from all walks of life. My lens has allowed me to capture the joy and, sometimes, sorrow that life entails.
I have been very fortunate to photograph some very well known people
who visited my country, such as South African freedom
fighter-cum-president Nelson Mandela, former United States president
Bill Clinton, Britain's Queen Elizabeth ll and her three sons.
I have also been blessed with the opportunity to see other parts of the
world and, on this website, I share photos from these travels.
One of the places that I absolutely enjoyed photographing was Cuba. I
saw the joy; the poverty and I felt the spirit of the people. It is a
country that I would love to visit again.
The beauty of the Mona Lisa, the mouth-watering cuisine and the
atmosphere on the sidewalk cafes of Paris are memories I will always
treasure. Paris in summer is full of romance and music and visitors are
easily captivated by the history of this magnificent European city.
My journey to Holland uncovered the natural beauty of the countryside,
which is only rivaled by the enthralling sites of the capital city,
Amsterdam.
Holland's famous dykes and windmills add to the beauty of the landscapes and create their own romance for lovers of nature.
Someone very dear to me jokingly called me the paparazzi when I visited
his country. I just smiled and I said I am not the paparazzi; I am just
passionate about Photography.
