Are there circus groupies?
The 4th annual festival of alternative arts (Festival Siguientescena 2011)Â in town did not disappoint last week. Consisting of “unconventional theater, dance, and circus” performances, the general quality of the talent was extremely high. Full of great music, dance, and people doing generally crazy things with their bodies, these types of performances are some of my […]
Monday is for Organization
But here is a placeholder while I process the 45 or so images that I want to post from the Festival Siguientescena. This is my final photo of the evening and the festival, because my battery died right after I took this one. So fitting though, because b-boy Gregory from Canada was probably my favorite […]
The bee’s knees
Apiculture has been a dream hobby of mine now for many years. I’m just fascinated by it. As far as dream hobbies go, I always felt that this one was rather realistic. However, still a little tricky to get into – not the type of thing I wanted to just read about and then buy my […]
It was a dark and stormy night
I was running fast to get home for two reasons. First, it was very, very dark behind me, and second, I wanted to take a picture. Not exactly what I had envisioned, but I’m still learning. Since it is still rainy season and we are in this late afternoon/early evening storm cycle, I should have […]
The idea was climb, camp, climb…
It started with a afternoon of climbing on Saturday. I lead three really nice routes and had no falls. The camping followed on Saturday evening, and was going very well with one of my favorite combos: red wine, cheese, and bread. There was no rain, no mosquitos, a nice fire, and then whiskey. The final combination […]
Cultural Event – Ya ximhai xa nsu (Territorios de lo Sagrado)
On Sunday, I went to the closing day of a cultural exhibition on the indigenous people Otomi-Chichimecas or Hñahñu. The exhibition was highlighting the yearly pilgrimage of the Otomi-Chichimecas, Ya ximhai xa nsu, which translates to “Territories of the sacred or precious land”. I did not actually get a chance to see most of the exhibit, but […]
mmm…cerebros…
It was quite a weekend, which started on Thursday. By Saturday afternoon I felt like a zombie, which coincided perfectly with the Zombie Walk 2011 through the center of town. I was missing the obvious blood, but my hands were fairly scraped up on close inspection after having spend the morning (apparently somewhat desperately) clinging […]
Meditation and Decoration
Under attack at the office
I swear it.
Beautiful Weather
Self-Medicating
I could get used to this. I’m just glad that I have two more.
Leftovers
I’ve been working on a personal presentation to give to people at my site as a way of introducing myself, my background, and more former work. So, I’ve been going through a lot of pictures, and I found a bunch of stragglers that didn’t quite make the cut the first time. However, a lot of […]
