Perhaps it was the lack of sleep or maybe it was the heat and the humidity, but the whole day of Mardi Gras felt like a fluid dream in blurring colours and overlapping music.  On the first day of our shoot in Trinidad, we are thrown into the middle of a frenzy known as Carnival 2000.  Kwoi had been shooting non-stop since six in the morning while I carried his heavy camera bag, at times leading and at times following him.  We took a break in the afternoon, sneaking into the hilltop Hilton Hotel to sip tall drinks by the pool.
