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.

Art shots

I forgot my trusty Lumix and was forced to take these with an itouch.  I have not shot many pictures with it and frankly, I am not that impressed.  I suppose I just need to practice with it.  Any suggestions on how to improve quality?  I have done a search and found a few things, but they require unlocking the machine.  Anyone?  Anyone?  Bueller...?
At any rate, these are from the wall by the entrance to Sanchez Pasqua market.
The art works well with its surroundings.
A tranquil spot for a siesta
 Kids being kids. Is that me in that shot?
 Interesting contrasts.
This is one of those classic shots, "Hey, don't take my picture." "I'm not taking your picture, I am taking a picture of the art behind you." all the while taking a picture of them.  I know, I know, I am a horrible person.
I was honest and said that they were as interesting as the art.  "You are art, too."
