Keith H. Clarke - The Parliament Buildings of Barbados - Thu, 02 Sep 2010 03:24:49 +0000

"I am a photographer like many other photographers. Just trying to find that near perfect blend of light, color, and composition can become illusive. My hope, as always, is to create an image that represents what I saw before I took the picture. Moreover, if the image I create provokes discussion and some interest, then the image has done its job. My goal is always to keep the picture in focus" - Keith H. Clarke 

_________________________________________________________________________

Keith Clark's second book, "The Parliament Buildings of Barbados - The Third Oldest Parliament in the Commonwealth," captures the historical exterior architecture, along with giving a brief history of the Parliament of Barbados, and the Parliament Buildings located in Bridgetown

The Crane - Barbados - Tue, 31 Aug 2010 16:06:00 +0000

I remember back in the day when there was no elevator to reach Crane Beach. You had to walk down LOTS of stairs - and stop and rest on the way back up! 

My last stay at The Crane was one of the more relaxing trips to the island. We usually stay in the St Lawrence Gap - constant party every night. The Crane is located in a quiet area of the island, and we have fond memories of the staff, along with excellent service. The Residence Suite with private pool was perfection!  - Linda

Barbados Singers Shontelle & Rhianna Working Together - Sun, 22 Aug 2010 22:37:45 +0000

In an interview with Digital Spy, 25-year-old Shontelle put rumors of a rivalry with her fellow Barbadian star to rest.

"People want to make us enemies so bad and we just laugh about it because we're like 'I don't get it'," she said.

 

"We are two girls from Barbados who are just so excited about the fact that we come from this small island that so many people didn't even know existed until Rihanna broke out."

She continued: "Now we recently made history where we had two artists from Barbados in the top ten at the same time - and that has never happened ever in history, not even from any country outside the U.S."

Shontelle releases 'Impossible' on August 30. The 'T-Shirt' singer is currently gearing up for the UK release of her new track 'Impossible', the lead single from her second album No Gravity.
