Desaturated Soul

New Book

I would like to inform the followers of my blog that I have been working on a new edition of Desaturated Soul, which will be published in about two or three months. 

Remnants of Crypto-Jews Among Hispanic Americans

REMNANTS OF CRYPTO-JEW AMONG HISPANIC AMERICANS    This project began as a photography project long before any idea of publishing a book entered my mind.   As time progressed,  my interviews with descendants of Jews from the Spanish Inquisition increased.   It was then that I decided to look for a publisher and found Floricanto Press.   My goal is to educate, with the hope that many will find the truth about their heritage.  The oral histories, accompanied by photographs,  portray the lives of many whose families suffered at the hands of the Inquisition.   Although this happened so many years ago, the forced conversions from Judaism to Catholicism are still very much alive in the hearts and minds of these people.

Yellowstone

Yellowstone Park is magical, with its geysers and steam columns clouding the air.  The visitor is provided with many configurations of the elements throughout the park.   

Sea of Darkness

I don't remember where this image was taken, but I am always attracted to the light in the midst of  darkness.   The light area of the water seems to create a passageway for the boats, and enables us to comprehend the vastness of our waterways.

Toward Manhattan

Toward Manhattan

Rush hour in Manhattan is known throughout the world and often dreaded.   However, I noticed great beauty in the reflections on the car and the water.  Take a second look on your next trip to New York City.

Florida Wetlands

Anyone who loves nature and photography must visit Florida's wetlands.   There are several locations throughout Florida, but my areas of concentration have been Wakodahtche and Green Cay.   One can view the  wildlife in their natural habitats by walking through a maze of boardwalks.  The two places mentioned are located in the Delray Beach and Boynton Beach areas.

This Is A New Post

Welcome to my blog.   Please add your comments.   I'm leaving for Florida today and plan to work on my photography.   Hope to share some new photos with you when I return.

Visiting Normandy

  Visiting Normandy was a heartfelt experience.   I knew cousins and uncles who fought inTHE WAR (WW II).   It seems such a long time ago.  I also have in my possession a letter from my uncle's friend who died in the war.   I spent my whole life returning to this note, and it always meant so much that he thought of me while fighting for our country.   This visit was, in a way, my turn to give back. . . by remembering him.

Mass Ascension

  New Mexico hosts an an annual Balloon Fiesta.  People travel great distances to ride in a balloon.   About 700 balloons reach the sky during this event, and the view of the balloons floating through the air is a sight to behold.
