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.

Boda, boda, boda

Saturdays in May?  It is wedding time.  As I walked through the city I saw brides everywhere and I can never pass one without trying to get a shot.
Sometimes they are accompanied by bands, dancers and large crowds, especially if it is held in Santo Domingo.  They are often spectacular, an encapsulation of many things Oaxacan.
 This one had it all.
Other times, brides can be seen just walking alone on the street.
Here she is with her father.  They were happy to pose for the shot.
The first rule of shooting weddings is "The bride must always look good."  Oops...
Well, at least the groom in this one looked great.
Ready to go on the honeymoon after leaving Carmen Alta.
¡Felicidades!
