Non sequiturs

Neither here nor there.  I have been shoveling so much abono, I think it has gone to my head.  I mean, I see BS everywhere.  Yes, I'm lookin' at you, El Norte.  I don't know which is more depressing, the politics, the press, the pundits or, dare I say it? ( sure, go ahead, say it) the people.  You got people running for office who blatantly lie and the press says nothing, but has hissy fits over only the things they deem are important.  It is like a bad Junior High election.  Not to mention the guys who sit on the House Comm. on Science and Tech that think Satan caused all this stuff and that women have special powers, no doubt from God.  Talk about bullshit..... Continue to maintain carnal knowledge with that domestic fowl......

Ah, but I digress.  I have been shooting more of Oaxaca's artists, which has taken much longer than expected, but it is a fun job.  However, I ran out of food and had to run over to the market in Etla to grab some things.  As soon as I opened my car door, I was hit by the sounds of "Gangnam Style" blasting across the plaza.  I half expected a flash mob and I wish I knew the steps or I would have started one myself.  It's a mighty small world.  Korean video goes viral and gets picked up by all the CD and DVD pirates in the world, not to mention the torrents.  It is infectious.

 

On my travels through parts of Oaxaca I have never been to before, I was captivated by the sights and smells of these new vistas.  But as always it is the people who make it all so special.  This abuela in San Bartolo Coyotepec made us some fine memelitas with beans and cheese and fried me an egg on her comal.

This little cutie is the granddaughter of Angelica Vasquez, the fine ceramicist from Atzompa.

 Not too cute, huh?
