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.

Santa Ana Zegache - Dos

I returned to shoot the church in Santa Ana Zegache this afternoon in search of the elusive shot I know is there. I took a different road, the one that heads for Huatulco, and the drive was quite easy, not nearly as rough. The sun was behind me and the light was getting nice. You can see what a difference the facing sun can make.The clouds, building, rolled in from the west and the sun was going fast for the day. Time to shoot fast.Everywhere I looked, I notice more detail. They really painted everything. Detail from under a window.Details from the stockings.I could see the rain moving in with flashes of lightening, all pretty dramatic. We had a nice rain last night and things are turning that vibrant green that was not even on the horizon even a couple of weeks ago. Maybe the rainy season is arriving. Every drop a blessing.
However, I did not get the shot I know is there. I plan on returning, maybe even tomorrow. Depends on el sol.
