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.

Convite - Teotitlan del Valle - July, 2010

This is a video from July of the convite or formal procession of young women and girls in Teotitlan del Valle in the annual fiesta celebrating the Precious Blood of Christ. This year there were hundreds of marchers and it was beautiful. It also helped to have shot this even several times. Now I know where to be at a certain time. I shoot and then pack up and run through the back streets to get to the next vantage point. One can follow the entire event from preparation to completion. Quite a workout, but what a blast!
And this is one nice video if I leave the humidity, I mean humility, by the wayside. It may be best to click on it to see it wide screen.
