Black and White Carnival?

"The task is not to go somewhere where you never been and take a great shot, but to see around you by different angle and show it to others."

Curacao Carnival 2011 in B&W

by Caroline Castendijk

Yes! And this is beautiful. Pictures from Curacao are really impressive.

Caribbean are full of carnivals in February this year. What people are seeing on different islands is colourful and loud parades, all is emotional, impressive and BLACK and WHITE.

Different world at all and piece of art of Curacao community was exposed in B&W by Caroline Castendijk today


See and enjoy full album here.






This exposition shows carnival moments from different and outstanding point of view. Impressive and emotional.

it is one of the best examples I ever seen of event photography.  Most of photographers, watching this album looks like started to thing to go to Caribbean next year, but... Did you think ever, that something similar is hidden around you? Can you change angle? Can you see different way what you have seen millions times? Here is not difference is this Carnival in Curacao or party on next street of you house, or parade, or whatever. Just what you need, see it by another angle.


I've heard a lot of complains about poor photographer's life, limited ability to travel, and impossibility to access to famous hotspots and events worldwide. But... Did you ever think to change your point of view, and come with camera to you home town as stranger? Can you?

Bottom part of this story not carnival itself, but understanding and seeing world different way, showing something what others couldn't see somehow. It is one of the point to be photographer.



PS: I am appreciated for this kind of show to Caroline Castendijk, processional photographer from Curacao.
