bubble man





It was amazing to see this man create large bubbles out of soapy water from his hands. I liked watching this man's expression and focus as he went from blowing in his hands until a large floating bubble came out which he then pushed towards the crowds at Plaza Bolivar. 

Turntablism en Medallo


The first Saturday of each month features the San Alejo Artisan festival in Plaza Bolivar, Medellin Colombia. San Alejo is an excellent place to shop and support local artists. One can come across a variety of handmade items like belts, bracelets, blankets, antiques, jewelry and food.  
When I walk into San Alejo on this sunny and fresh 70ish day I hear the sounds of old tango but being played very very slow and as I look up I run up on my man in the picture who is reppin' soooo hard i started to cry.  For real this cat is equipped with a broken homemade turntable connected to a blow horn which is basically dude's speakers. The turntable is broken so this Don uses his hands and fingers to keep the rhythm.  While he plays the 45 record on the turntable with his right hand he uses his left hand to move the dolls (keep them from falling) that are walk-dancing on this home made board game where I was successful at locating the word "Laser". Check out the video

7-7-7


From time to time we will need to take short trips back in time to get a better picture of what lies ahead. These photos capture some exceptionally good times had on July 7, 2007 aka 777.... the day a very good friend got married in Panama. The bald headed feller on the left is Don Angel aka An-Jizzle. The Don demonstrated to us growing boys how it goes down in Panama al estilo espanol. From coffee and rum in the early mornings to get ya blood going good until past 2 am on 777 dancing and flexin' fingers and hips to the sound of the music. The second image captures some good friends wildin' the F out to some fire Afro Panamanian Murga Pressure. Panama is an amazing place. I miss it and am looking forward to the Playa Corona Family reunion in the near future. Please visit Dj San Q's site for much better photos about this trip.
