Oaxaca-The Year After: Bea Shots

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.

Bea Shots

That's "Bea" shots not "B" shots...... Beatriz Ruiz from Teotitlan del Valle.
Remember this shot from a few days ago? Me showing Bea how to work the camera.

Well, here are some of her shots.
Her cousin, Angelica. Yes, I have photographed her several times, as well.

Maybe a friend,

Maybe a relative.

Of course, there's Dad, Antonio.

My plan is to give her the camera and encourage her and her friends to take pictures. I know they can see and get places I never could. It should be fun and who knows......
