I've been following some of the
Carnival bloggers after getting some really valuable links off a
few of the sites for the Making Mas series.
Several of these sites are really focused on the business of getting ready for Carnival Monday and Tuesday and one of the fascinating themes that cropped up in the week before Carnival was the disparity between costumes as delivered and as advertised.
Two particularly thorough and interesting entries appeared on the blogs of Saucy Diva and Carnival Jumbie.
After covering Carnival for almost a quarter of a century, an issue like this simply never occurred to me. Have a look at what the committed masquerader has to say. These are blogs that deserve to be signed.

New Photoessay series

How does Carnival get made?
Making Mas, a new photoessay series that I'm working on for the Trinidad Guardian is a celebration of the unsung heroes of Carnival, the hundreds of people who build thousands of costumes for the annual festival.
The introduction page is here. Galleries of published and unpublished photos are here. Downloadable PDFs of the published Guardian stories are here.
