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.

La Boda de Enrique y Fermina


Sorry got the light posting.  I always like to say one has to choose between living life and blogging.  Given the opportunity to attend and shoot a wedding in Teotitlan del Valle, the former kicked in.  Yesterday was the wedding, after days, weeks of preparation and it was spectacular.  Teotitlan is famous for maintaining its traditions and it was a real honor to get to see things from the inside, although there was so much to take in, I am dazed.  It also might be awakening at 4AM yesterday to get there in time for the early morning blessings and procession to the church.  I got in at 10:30 PM, but wimped out on the dancing which I am sure went on until 2 or 3 in the morning.  I don't know how they do it.  I am about to jump in the car for the last of the fiestas, so more later.
