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.

Very nice picture!!The other day,somebody was telling you that you should do a book with your picture of those beautifull celling and different architecture that you see!Personnaly i would say that i love your picture in general(graffiti,children,old people,architecture,nature, etc..),so in your future book(If you are thinking about that seriously),you should have different aspect of Oaxaca and the culture or nature that you are experiencing right now!
Keep enjoying the life of Oaxaca,and you have a good eye for photography,so keep those picture preciously!!
Tchaooo!
