About taking photos:
You can't photograph the
street carnival in Trinidad
as a spectator, you have to
be part of the story: you
have to move with people.
This can be quite hard at
35° Celsius and 90% humidity
Unfortunately, traditional carnival costumes* - e.g., colorful long dresses - are almost becoming extinct. Instead, women are more or less nearly naked , all of them, regardless of age or body type. In other words, the term "body shaming" is completely unknown in Trinidad.
