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.

Flores


After shooting around here for a few years, there are certain shots that are important yet fleeting.  These are a few of them.  Flowers, one or two days before harvest.

Fields of marigolds and celosia, the two most important flowers used in El Dia celebrations.  There are not nearly the number of fields of flowers this year.  I knew about this one from a couple of years ago and it is even better this year, a great yield.  Must have been the good rains and the quality of this plot of land.  It could represent a great deal of income if I am judging the market correctly.
