Hello world!

Welcome to DMofo’s weblog at WordPress.com.

I am a former photo-journalist (working under another name) of some twenty-plus years of past service to various newspapers, magazines and assorted publications worldwide. I am no longer in the news-chasing/publishing racket and have since the mid-nineties been involved in the computer/network business as a contracted computer/network technician.

The focus here will be to share some of the things that I’ve done and some of the things that I may encounter in the future; time permitting, I will blog where and when I can.

I mostly worked as a freelance news photographer based in the United States for numerous local, regional, national and international newspapers and publications. I ran my own photo agency DigiPixs International; sadly, DigiPixs is no more.

Some years ago, the photographic archives were sold to Globe Photos Inc., in New York City. They own the rights to the pictures and stories I produced during those years.

In addition to my photographic field work I also worked as a newspaper Picture Editor. My photographic specialty was celebrity/personality photography. I’ve also done other news coverage and my area of coverage was Central America and the Caribbean.

Currently, I am in Florida and soon hope to be returning to the Caribbean, where I did a stint on a weekly newspaper employed as a staff photojournalist. My duties included: Photography, Story development and Feature writing.

I’m an A+ and Network+ certified computer/network technician. I provide on-site computer repairs and support to home users and small to mid-sized businesses. Additionally, in the past I provided technical support for two internationally known companies.

Born in the Twin-Islands Republic of Trinidad & Tobago in the Caribbean, I was educated in Barbados at Presentation College. Soccer was my game of choice. I played for the Barbados Junior National Team for 1 year and 3 years semi-professionally in New York.

Now, I am an avid pool/billiards player.

The island of my birth is located at its closest point, some seven miles off the coast of the South American country of Venezuela.

Know to many worldwide, Trinidadian are fondly known as Trinis, and are a fun loving – “partying people”. The twin-islands in the sun are also known as the Soca Islands – since it is the home of soca, calypso, steelband music, limbo and of course the “Greatest Shown on Earth” – carnival and in recent years, world-class athletes and beauty queens.

Miss Universe 1998, Wendy Fitzwilliam is a Trinidadian as is the pageant’s 1997 second-runner up Margot Bourgeois. Other noteworthy Trinidadians are former world-class sprinter Ato Boldon, cricket’s ace-batsman Brian Lara, Dwight York, 1999 leading goal scorer and footballer of the year, for the English Premiere League’s champion soccer team Manchester United and currently a Sunderland player, along with fellow countymen Carlos Edwards and Kenwyne Jones .

I will attempt to be diligent with this blog and periodically, time permitting, post some items of interest. As of this date, I have no idea as to where this blog may go and what it may evolved into.

So, I invited you dear world citizen to visit again and join me in this journey. I am a great observer of my surroundings and have many interests that I may comment on.
