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.

Shot of the day...

I don't know why, but I like this shot.  Maybe it is the size of the car... I have no idea what kind it is.... do they have them where you are?.... or maybe it is the textural aspect of the whole thing.

It's an EV. I think it is made by Daimler, the maker of Mercedes-Benz. They have a subsidiary called Car2go that uses these cars for their fleet in various cities. It's an interesting car-sharing program for people in a big city that don't want to own a car but want the option of using one locally at times.

Gracias. It does look like a cool car. I wonder if I could fit in it. I was 6'4" the last time I checked.

I love the car2go concept. Also the bikes to go that are appearing in many cities.
