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.
¡Soy consciente de todas las tradiciones del Internet!

More Art from the Road to Etla...

See-sawing against a big sky, while in the median of the Pan-American highway.
All pieces were made from recycled materials. Dodging traffic and a golden goddess of plastics.
This detail reveals some of the plastic items used in its creation.
Despedida (Farewell)
 A blue dog is made entirely from plastic bottles.
Such a fun shot with this street dog and its bones in front of Garfield the Cat's pizza joint and the NY Yankee fan showing his pride.
And yes, there's more....

Not sure how long they will be there, but, you know, there's always something happening in Oaxaca! Hasta pronto!
