The here and now... and what and why

Complacency is a trap. At least that’s what I was thinking when I up and left the comfort of a Yankee prep school gig, where I taught music, amongst other things, for 28 years. There was also that life long career as a composer, musician and artist.

First, it was a year in St. Thomas, USVI, working as a reporter and shooting photography and then, a year in San Agustin Etla, Oaxaca, Mexico.
Time passed.
More time passed and a year back in the Athens of America followed by a hasty return to Oaxaca where it is all happening.
A couple of years in San Sebastian Etla and now, just down the road in San Pablo Etla. Life is good.

You can find my music on Jango (World & latin - Worldbeat) and at iTunes and most online stores.

Finalmente - Muertos!

I am just back from a long day shooting the beginnings of El Dia de los Muertos. I drove back until a full moon after a remarkable day. This is why I am here. Lots to post in the coming days, but it will take some time to go through the hundreds of shots and then the video. I will start posting tomorrow..... in reality, I should still be out there drinking it all in, but one can only drink so much in any given day.The entrance to el panteon in OcotlanFlowers for sale everywhere. Everyone was carrying a bundle.Rosas, mis favoritas!Ofrendas everywhere.
