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.

Ya basta!
Enough already! I have been here long enough. I'm headed for the airport.... unfortunately my flight does not leave until next week. I guess I will head to the new American wing at the MFA.
Oaxaca is about to welcome in a new governor and of course, it is chaos, but maybe it is just normal chaos. If URO follows Bush's example we can expect a self-glorifying book in a year or so. Nuf sed.
I can't tell if things are more screwed up here or there, but if it is a race, both places are movin' fast towards that finish line.
Me, I am just happy to see the first ice of the season
all that green trapped, next year's silt.
while at the same time able to catch the tail end of autumn.
And all its colors.
Great day for reflecting
and reflections.
Yes, it was that blue.

Great photography show!
I wish I was in Oaxaca for the transfer of power. I just can't get enough through the internet.
As a Oaxacaphile, I want to thank you for 27 posts in one month! Woo-hoo!
Great images of reflections. I especially love the bird and birds.
