This is a toast to The Independence of Barbados. But if I might add that we as a people of Barbados were mentally independent long before we broke the chains of colonialism in 1966. And we were equally free long before we were enslaved by greed. And like in those dark days there were those not of our persuasion who aided us in the quest for our physical freedom.

The same is true today, we have to as a nation, continue to better ourselves and uphold the freedoms of our brothers and sisters. Barbados is more than the sum of its parts. On that note I wish to give thanks to the place of my birth. Join me Barbadians of every denomination, no matter what part of the world you may be, in wishing Barbados a HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY.

The Parliament Buildings of Barbados

The Parliament Buildings of Barbados, originally uploaded by pictureinfocus.

Barbados is home to some of the loveliest mix of architecture in the Caribbean. The island boasts Victorian, Georgian, and Jacobean homes that can marvel some in the same like as those located throughout the Caribbean and for that matter the rest of the world.

This brings us to The Parliament Buildings of Barbados, a structural wonder of limestone, brick, and mahogany. The huge arches, towers, and causeways, are tribute to the democratic nation island we call Little England, the island of Barbados.

Head on over to Blurb.com and purchase this photojournalist book on The Parliament Building.

All images are exterior images. Enjoy the book.

Old Barbados through Photography

Old Barbados through Photography, originally uploaded by pictureinfocus.

It is my mission to bring Old Barbados back to the forefront via photography. Whether it be some old chattel house, an old soft stone house, or some other dilapidated dwelling, you can still find some subtle beauty in them.

These stirring images came as I escaped in to my past. Traversing the island of Barbados, I was looking for all that was old and beautiful. It led me to childhood places and what came out was a photojournalist body of work.

Old Barbados is disappearing, making way for the new. By the time you read this book, many of these images may have already been bulldozed.

Head on over to Blurb.com and purchase this photojournalist book on Old Barbados.

Please, enjoy these images of Old Barbados.

This December (2009) will be a year since the Graeme Hall Nature Sanctuary has been closed. The Government of Barbados has yet to give any concrete answer as to whether the Graeme Hall Nature Sanctuary and the surrounding 200 plus acres of swamp lands (mangroves) will be legislated as a National Swamp.

You can view recently added images of the Graeme Hall Nature Sanctuary, especially of the birds in the Aviary.

What a beautiful sight on the Parkway it was. The colors, the revelers, the food, it was a blast. But this little one’s costumes or mother getup was a sight to behold. Yes, a little Bajan-Yankee, so cute and beautiful.

The future of the parade is in the hands of little folk like this reveler. Long live the Brooklyn West Indian American Day Carnival.

This Grand Costume was leaning against the fence near the Prospect Park Train Station. The revelers were pooped and relaxing. I guess it is not easy wearing such a big costume for such a long period of time. What beautiful colors, indeed it is lovely.

Not too sure what the name of the little wonder is, but it surely pretty. My dad and I have realized that it disappears and reappears at variously ties of the day. This small beauty is playing tricks on us.
