Bookeh - Through the lens of a Trinidadian photog

Another book eh! The title of this my seventh book is a play on the photography term bokeh. I wanted to write a book that allowed me to explore my passion for photography and my many years doing photography. There is something magical about being able to save a moment and come back to it in the future. Time may blur the memories in our mind while photographs allow us to revisit what once was. Below are the chapters as I write them. Here is a link to a digital copy of the book and as I write the chapters I will share them on my blog and link them below. All my other books are here.

.dev.tt domain names in Trinidad and Tobago

I have this idea where developer hub members could be given .dev.tt domain names. I asked ChatGPT to help me express the benefits of this. Acquiring .dev.tt domain names for d'hub members in Trinidad can provide several benefits. Here are ten advantages to consider: 1. Relevance : A .dev.tt domain extension immediately signifies that the website is related to developers or development, enhancing the overall relevance and branding of d'hub members' websites. 2. Credibility : Having a dedicated domain extension like .dev.tt adds credibility and professionalism to the websites of d'hub members, demonstrating their commitment to the developer community. 3.

Love, Purpose, and Ten Dollars

This will be my submission to this future leadears competition https://www.iicom.org/future-leaders-competition-2024/ I was scrolling through facebook and saw this essay contest posted by TATT. At first I was excited. I am a writer. I am a nooby book writer. I have been a blogger and tech blogger for about 20 years. My excitement turned to disappointment when it appeared to me that I might not be the target audience or that I do not have the expertise to write for this topic. However, I decided that I am still going to give it a try. Maybe it encourages the organization and judges to have a category in the future that caters for a wider audience. Surely I will not win but it will get me thinking and it will be an opportunity for learning and of course I will be doing my favorite thing which is writing. The topic is breaking down barriers to sustainability. This is related to our future towards green and digital solutions and the communications industry as I understand it. What policies

Walking

This is a chapter from my fifth book called Freedom I recently started doing long distance walking again. I like the freedom that walking gives me. I think walking prevented me from getting really sick many times in the past. There are many benefits to walking that you can research on your own. Always consult your doctor before starting any exercise regimen. Injuries are a real thing. If you have a treadmill that is awesome. But you do not need one. These days I am walking in my yard because of the convenience and my mom says it is safer to walk at home. Also I do not have to worry about the rain or finding a toilet or an adequate supply of water. I can wear ragged home clothes also. Finding the motivation and willpower to exercise is a real issue for many. I recently had a relapse and got sick and I found my motivation. God works in mysterious ways. I have also changed up my routine and I am prioritizing sleep and diet. Recently Tilo Kruse and his Ghananian friend did a walk around To

My Year In New York from 2002 to 2003

Image
Somehow I managed upon Action Kid on youtube and I am now a big fan. I love exploring and walking and that is what he does. Scenes from New York remind me of my year of living and working in New York. Before that year I had spent a summer interning at Goldman Sachs on wall street. I also spent my first university Christmas break at a friends family in Brooklyn. What I love about New York is the diversity of people and places. An amazing melting pot of peoples from all over the world. For the summer internship I stayed at one of the NYU dorms in Manhattan and for the year I lived on Schermahorn St. in Brooklyn Heights. A small studio close to the train station, Brooklyn Heights promenade and a cinema and many other conveniences. It's been more than 17 years now and much of my memories are faded. The one thing I don't miss is the depressing winter weather. The things I remember are the bike rides across the Brooklyn bridge, trips to Central Park, ferry rides to Staten Island and
