All posts for the month January, 2012

Simple might mean easy…and some times unimportant. And yes, they are, but simple things are like little pieces of gears of a enormous machinery that couldn’t be started without those simple meaningless parts… And so, life began and also did the universe!

I was working on this photo, trying to add color , shadows, brightens and I just couldn’t. It didn’t look right, don’t know why.

So I guess that this hands wanted to be shown as they are… They give me the idea of someone higher than ourselves, holding our restless souls to give us peace.

Launch into the air!!! What about flying?!

Well, the truth is that I put this photos upside down, as you have probably guessed! :)

These men are the “Voladores de Papantla” (Flyers of Papantla). It is a ceremony/ritual which has its roots in the pre-Hispanic period and presently best known as associated with the town of PapantlaVeracruz.

I found this group at a public presentation. They play nicely with violin and keyboards. Their name: Arcano. You can do a search in youtube to find several of their recordings.

If you are into Classical music, you will like to hear a part of this song.
