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.

Street Art cont....

I suppose it is the same everywhere, but Oaxaca is filled with such interesting sights. I never fail to be drawn in by the art and graffiti. These two really made me think. This virgin is so beautifully and tastefully done, fits with the house so well. It had to be planned. I hope it remains untagged.

Visual hallucinogenic or a piece intended to make one look and perceive it as art? In the eye of the beholder, as always.
