On 2-8-13, T7 Images had a an opportunity to cover the event called Canboulay, named in conjunction with the 1881 Canboulay riots, Many thanks to Studio Lafoncette Photography http://studiolafoncette.com)
it was T7 Images ,LLC, had the divine pleasure of being hosted here in (T&T) Trinidad & Tobago ,by one of my favorite local and internationally acclaimed friends and extraordinary Photographer Leslie Robertson Toney.
The air was filled with a passion and smoke from the Flambeau, for a tradition that marks the ritual for which a stellar performance unfolded. Well, I have to inform you all, that at 5Am before sun rise, the actors obligations,were more than satisfied as viewed from my lens here at T7 Images.
They were all extreme practitioners brandishing wooden staves, Royal Dance, powerful commentary, vibrant customs, and powerful take charge action that thrilled. The deep loud sounds were echoing in the night air as a league of Drummer's strengthening the reason for the celebration that came directly from the grand stage in the heart of the city, Port of Spain. The air filled with true a passion for the tradition of Carnival and 50 years of Independents being celebrated.
We will certainly return for this one again.... Editor
