Life is one big collage of people of different ethnicities, traditions and cultures. If we could all just see beyond our differences, fear and distrust of each other, there would be, as they say in my country, “no problem, man”. I’m someone who’s always open to new things. I’ll go anywhere and try almost anythingContinue reading “Photograph February #6”

Photograph February #5
Paris, France has always had the reputation of being “the city of love” and has even been professed by some as being the most romantic city in the world. As to whether that’s overrated or factual, all I can say is that when we first arrived there, love was definitely not the emotion we wereContinue reading “Photograph February #5”
Photograph February #4
In April of 2015, the school my sons attended took a senior trip to South Africa. One of our stops was the Table Mountain located in Cape Town. At an age of over 280 million years old, it is one of the oldest mountains in the world and stands at a height of 3,563 feetContinue reading “Photograph February #4”
Photograph February #3
On Wednesday, after spending four months with us, my parents went home to Jamaica. Last year after their stay, I made the trip back home with them.

Hiking The Great Wall in Beijing China (feature image) was one of the items on my bucket list. With some of its structures built from as early as the 7th century, spanning a total distance of approximately 21.2 thousand kilometers, and with all the excitement and allure witnessed in Kung Fu movies, I was soldContinue reading “Photograph February #2”

I will share some of my pictures, past and present, that speak to me. Just one single photograph on the days IContinue reading “Photograph February #1”
As the Ferris Wheel Turns
…and so, the “Ferris wheel” turns, and January is the first to hop off. I sometimes wonder if January ever feels cheated somehow, always the first one on and the first one off the wheel, no lingering, no looking forward. Gone with January are a few people I knew very well, close friends of myContinue reading “As the Ferris Wheel Turns”
What I’ve Learned About Love
Do you know that of all the commandments, love is the most important one of them all? Don’t take my word for it, you can read it in the Bible. Jesus when asked this very question of which commandment is greatest, responded that we are to love God with all our heart, soul, and mindContinue reading “What I’ve Learned About Love”
Age is Really Just a Number
“It’s paradoxical that the idea of living a long life appeals to everyone, but the idea of getting old doesn’t appeal to anyone.” Andy Rooney Tomorrow my dad hits another milestone. Under the strict orders of my sister, I’m forbidden from stating his age. Now, I know there’s some silly notion floating around out thereContinue reading “Age is Really Just a Number”
Still No Regrets Here
Have you ever been caught unexpectedly by the realization of just how much your life has changed? Sometimes it’s as simple as seeing someone, driving past some place, or hearing a certain song, and suddenly you’re jolted into remembering that at some time in your past, this person, place or song used to be aContinue reading “Still No Regrets Here”
