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.

It's that time of year - Graduation!

I can never pass up these shots of happy grads.  I guess it is because I went to so many in my life and always tap into the many thoughts and emotions that accompany these moments. 
 Two classic graduation smiles
 Gotta love it!
I watched the photographers get ready and try to get everything right.
One of the advantages of little cameras is that you can get some very interesting angles and perspectives.  I practice these all the time and sometimes they work better than others.  I think the graduates would like this one.  Yes, a bit tweaked in Photoshop, but....
