As Xavier and I scouted our field of view for these perfect pictures we came across a basic theme. Most of the vendors were women. Here are some of the vendors we snapped.

Read MoreI had three objectives for my visit to New York. My first objective was to cover the traditional West Indian American Carnival Mas. My second and probably the most anticipated was to see Max Ginsburg for the first time 15 years. The third was to catch up with friends and family we hadn't seen in years. I called Max and the first question he asked was "Do you have your paint box." Of course I said yes. It was a four hour live model session but as usual getting traffic was a nightmare. I was an hour late. Max asked; knowing I have issues with my knees Max as me if I needed help. Check out the pix.
Max works so intuitively. To have an opportunity to be tutored by one of Americas Premiere Great Masters was very special. As good as I thought I was I learned a few things that if I worked with Max's teachings I would be a far better painter. ( behind us is the painting "Bus Stop" which graces the cover of his retrospective book "Max Ginsburg"

We had a super day for photo's. The costumes and the beautiful faces and body made it impossible to get all of the shots we needed to concentrate on. We came with a game plan to shoot full, half and portrait shots with emphasis action shots. Overall, can I use these images for more than photographic aesthetics.
These Dancers melted the space they stood and move on. They were hot!
Great costumes and beautiful kids participated in this marvelous spectacle of color creativity and showmanship. There were so many people out and about celebrating this day. Some people say they enjoy this part of carnival weekend better that the adult mas. These pictures were taken by Xavier Ryan.

The team had a great time at this small for Mas Band carnival. It wasn't taxing with teens rowdy impeding the bands and other revelers. This Carnival was short but inviting. It doesn't hurt that St.Pete is a beautiful city.
Howard's favorite duo. These girls were shot at the Miami Broward Carnival 2012.

My Trini Brother is koolin with his looks! I got to Orlando just in time to capture his looks.
As we prepare to shoot this event we contemplate how to get all the shots I need to get the best images for my paintings.
