Visual surprise is natural in the Caribbean; it comes with the landscape, and faced with its beauty, the sigh of History dissolves.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Caribbean literature only has to be true to itself. It doesn't need colonialism or imperialism. It's always been vibrant.
Surprises can be compelling.
Surprise is key in all art.
The moment one gives close attention to any thing, even a blade of grass it becomes a mysterious, awesome, indescribably magnificent world in itself.
The Caribbean is such an apocalyptic place, whether it's the decimation of the indigenous populations by the Europeans, whether it's the importation of slaves and their subsequent being worked to death by the millions in many ways, whether it's the immigrant processes which began for many people, new worlds ending their old ones.
It's not at all naturally human to see something like the Grand Canyon as beautiful.
I want to give people a taste of the Caribbean, and show them the fun side of me.
It is only in the shadows, when some fresh wave, truly original, truly creative, breaks upon the shore, that there will be a rediscovery of the West.
It is my intention to present - through the medium of photography - intuitive observations of the natural world which may have meaning to the spectators.
It always amuses me that the biggest praise for my work comes for the imagination, while the truth is that there's not a single line in all my work that does not have a basis in reality. The problem is that Caribbean reality resembles the wildest imagination.
