I passed by UWI carnival 2k7 was today like the paparazzi I am. I must say that things have changed since I have stopped going up there after my friend stopped working in the computer lab last year. The first thing that caught my eye was the new stop light at the main gate, this was long needed, I don't know why they waited until I left to put it in.
My carnival friend told me she wasn't going but it was supposed to start at 10am.. I did my Jamaican time calculations and figured it would start by 1pm yet still I was early. I stopped by the new Jucy beef for the first time too and as I finished I went around to the Mary Seacole Hall where things normally kick off.
People started to crowd there and these are some of the pictures I snapped:
This lady tried hard to get my attention from across the road so I could get her picture.. I'm glad I did, I absolutely love those shorts on girls, too bad I didn't see any girls actually wearing them though.. lol
These girls were representing the AZ Preston Hall, my old hall. As far as I was concerned this was the best costume, not cause yellow is my favorite color or anything ;)
These girls in the redstripe band were pretty lively in comparison to the digicel band who was dead like dog, of course they aren't seen above cause that would be a waste of space.
The rain started to come down so hard that for the sake of my camera I sheltered by the Philip Sherlock Centre. These girls here on the left gave me some serious screw face after I asked them for a picture to remember the moment, they asked me what I wanted it for, I said personal collection.. oops I forgot about the blog. They started to smile after a little bit of encouragement from me though, I hope they don't mind.

MB.. that same girl caught my eye also.
Girl in the yellow top and jeans shorts have it going on still.. first picture i viewed large was that one.
Interesting site...(?)
Anyhoo I got the inside scoop on how Woolmer really died at www.jimscreechy.blogspot.com
lol I didn't even notice her when I was taking the picture.. its a shame she gave me a screw face though heh, she coulda work with if she just smiled :D
@jim screechy: whats this? a shameless plug to your site in my comments? I'm not going to hate though so i'll let you jim screechy some visits from my site :p
you've got to give me some tips at encouraging people to take pictures cause most jamaicans well dawk
The yellow and black was seacole not preston though. And the girls in the yellow weren't representing a specific hall. Rex did lock it down still!
Have to say that most of them look really miserable - eithr the camera scared them or they haven't got the point of carnival - it's not to look cool and miserable, it's to have fun!
These pics are making me SERIOUSLY consider an impromptu trip down carnival weekend. Matter of fact, I'm looking into tix now.
I wonder if Jim Screechy is just trolling the web and writing the same message on everyone's blog. My delete finger is reeeeally itchy.
@owen: dunno.. the ones I got to smile started after I asked. I think the ones with the serious screw face were just laughing inside at me coz I was pointing at my face and showing them how to smile after they didn't fulfill my first request.
@KG: the camera shy ones looked plesant to me as they ran away, I guess these people hadn't gotten in the mood yet cause it was early.
@simple enigma: Jamaica carnival? thats a first.. I know more people who go to trinidad carnival than people who drive down the road to Jamaica carnival and you want to take a plane here for it?
Wished there were more pics of hotties.
lol jim. I got lots more on the camera.. some fine ass shots that will make you drool.. pun intended :D
I'm not sure why I didn't use those choice shots on the blog though, I guess I am decent after all :p
oh man you are seriously making me wish that caribana would hurry up and come
no your not and this blob is a testiment to that fact. no post the damn pics :)
Post the other pics plz. . .I wanna c if my friend an I made it into any of them. . .lol :)
hmm.. good try dauqre, I have a better suggestion:
email me some pics of your friend and I will look through the rest of my pics for her and post if any :p
Not only my friend. . .I looking for me as well :D. So that would be too much work to give you to do. So just send on the pics :D
some of those girls were too skinny to be all naked like that
Great shots Adrian! I plan to be at the Carnival road march with my camera! We need fi link, I am planning to get some fake Press IDs to get closer to the action!
lol fake press IDs? my cheap camera wouldn't fool a soul :p
The plan sounds fun.. something turns me off of Jamaica Carnival though, year before last they passed infront of my old apartment complex and I didn't even go out to look :(
