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.

Things are looking up.... Teposcolula

A shot of the interior dome of the newly restored church in Teposcolula.  There is a chandelier hanging below it which adds to the mandala effect.

The restoration work has been going on for months, maybe years, but it is gorgeous....not quite finished, but gorgeous.  I don't know if this one is finished, but it sure looks fine,

It is the same in Yanhuitlan, one of my all time favorites, but the church was closed when I was last there.

I have been shooting these interior domes whenever I get a chance.  There is one is San Jose del Progreso that is supposed to be one of the nicest ones in all of Oaxaca.  I have gone there five times, but never made it into the church for various reasons... like it was closed or there was a ceremony going on or they were having political altercations, you know, normal life.... Next time for sure.
