Here I go again attempting to make something out of material gathered with no particular purpose in mind. Under other circumstances I’d have used a tripod and locked the shot, but the 9 still images which make up this presentation were taken hand-held. The presentation itself was created in minutes, completely in iPhoto.

The location is Norfolk Street in Belmont, a district of Port of Spain, Trinidad, where I was last night taking photos and video of the La Fantasie art project. I selected the building mainly because it was directly across the street and because of the glow from the two fluorescent light fixtures which highlighted the texture of the metal door, but it also happens to be the constituency office of the People’s National Movement, the ruling political party of Trinidad & Tobago.

See a larger version of the video at Caribbean Free Video, where I’ve begun archiving all the stuff that moves.

This also happens to be my submission for Semanal - Week 4!

I love these photos…I used to go to school in Belmont & I’ve always loved walking through it on my way to Frederick Street to get my maxi-taxi home to Diego…
Thanks for the work,
the lab
