From The Past

August 18 2010

We’re approaching an era of stability in our lives. There is one roof and only one city. We’re taking the same trips and creating memories together. I found my tripod last week in a garage housing decades-worth of belongings I’ve left behind and mostly forgotten. This was the first time I’d used it [...]

Milk, packaged behind this phenomenal door – adjacent to an auto shop – ready to be delivered every day.

June 30 2010

The elevator doors opened and I barely advanced far enough for them to close. A big bear hug and a kiss distracted me from my luggage and it careened over with a loud thud. “Yay!” is all I heard. She made me quesadillas with tortillas made out of nopales and we had chocolate-dipped [...]

June 28 2010

These are my next two destinations over the next three days. New York City is a farewell trip to the new friends I’ve made over the last year. Mexico City is the reunion I’ve been anticipating for the last year. Patience is something I refined over the year, but it’s completely lost at [...]

The finish line is Mexico City and I’m three days away.

June 25 2010

8 cities. 12 months. I don’t know how to reflect on a year of recording Latinos and Latinas in the United States, so I’ll simply say thank you.

I imagine my thoughts will be riddled with vignettes, flashbacks and snippets of participant’s stories for the rest of my life.

Tomorrow is my last day [...]

June 19 2010

Almost a year went by without an instrument in the booth for me. I found this tragic since I listen to countless men and women share stories about how music was introduced into their lives. For some people, the songs they listened to as children played as much a role in the shaping [...]

I was asking for a little more excitement in Albuquerque, but this isn’t what I had in mind. Above, a sting operation in a McDonald’s parking lot in Nob Hill, Albuquerque.

May 31 2010

There are 30 days left in my contract and I’m looking forward to having holidays and weekends. While all of you were barbecuing bacon-wrapped hot dogs and burgers, my coworker and I were capturing Latino voices, one appointment at a time. Unfortunately, some voices decided to make barbecuing a priority and didn’t follow [...]

May 29 2010

Unlike the abundance of murals I found in the sleepy town of Fresno, Ca, Albuquerque’s murals and public paintings are few. The Barelas area of Fresno – a place mentioned to me as “the neighborhood where most ‘Cops’ episodes are shot in Albuquerque – showcases some wonderful Aztlan-esque paintings I’ve yet to photograph. [...]

May 25 2010

I picked this up in Rochester, NY around July of last year. It’s never been sent to anyone because I could never justify sending someone a postcard from Kentucky when I’ve never even come close to visiting Kentucky. I bought it because I liked the photo. Today I picked it up, probably for [...]

5 days. 4 cities. 24 hours of driving. Settling in.

You call this place awkward. I call this place “childhood.”

The first night back is always the most turbulent one.

April 24 2010

We disembarked from our trajinera at the lock. It’s a contraption built 24 years ago, after the 1985 earthquake, to take patrons from the touristy side of Xochimilco to the countryside. We were on our way back from Doll Island. Sergio says he was talking to Lipi and Sachin about India, and was [...]
