5300 yr. old man

Last night I was laying up in bed with the TV on falling asleep even though I wanted to pay attention to the programming on Peruvian archeology in the high mountains. They were searching for sacrificed childern hidden in and under the ice from the beginning of the colonial period. Next they went to more things hidden in ice at the top of mountains but, I was too asleep to remember it. Finally they got to the Iceman! I sat up. I loved that find when I first heard about it yrs ago. He’s now housed in Bolzano, Italy. I want to buy one of the museum’s books (about 12euros with the current exchange rate?). This kind of science makes my heart race! The site is in English, Italian, and German.

HooDoo Curse

Drawing based on a ‘hoodoo’ curse inflicted on a family member. Story has it one of my grandfather’s sisters was messing around with a man whose lady was from the Bahamas. When this woman found out what was going on she put a curse on my Aunt Mag. The result was ‘snakes’ crawling under the skin of her legs. I met some people that had seen it and said it was true even though her sister, Aunt Berta, denied it. Aunt Mag had trouble walking until her death. She kept her legs wrapped up with some kind of dressing and heavy stockings because she had bad sores on them both. Curse or not, her legs were ‘messed up’.

Finally!!

I know you’ve all been waiting patiently for me to show what I’ve been doing with the digital camera. First off, I have to say that it has been a learning process but, I’ve done okay. I have only one personal gallery finished of the two currently planned. This gallery is mostly flora and fauna. I hope you enjoy it. Nature

Miamiartexchange.com has more gallery openings added too. That is the other part of my photographing that has been a learning process. I don’t normally take pictures of people in public places. I have had to learn to do this without a flash going off. Galeries and artists in Miami are finally beginning to realize the potentional of the site they almost let die.
