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.

Elegant deterrence...

Some of the architectural details in the city are so distinctive and inventive.  Obviously, this design will keep the pigeons... and everything else from alighting.  A rather elegant way of saying "Keep out or suffer the consequences."  The spiked arc at the front is particularly striking.
Far more attractive than the standard broken bottle and glass shards that are very common.

Lessons from a cactus. I'd have added another quarter arc on the right for symmetry, otherwise quite nice (or nasty depending on whether you're an intruder).
