So much to announce as we look to a new year and new destinations. 2010 was quite a year with places visited near and far from Peru, Seattle, Kauai, Seattle again, and now… we look to end and start the year at the birthplace and home of Americas one true original musical art form that is Jazz music – The Big Easy aka – New Orleans!

A sincere thank you all that have supported DLRfoto in the past year. Your words of encouragement along with the booking of sessions and purchases of my book ‘Hijo de las Piedras’ have been more than motivation and inspiration.

Right off the jump, I’d love to extend a special thanks to my gracious hostesses to the utmostesses, Amie and Nina for taking the time to show me Seattle and explore the beauty of their city. My impression from the trip is that it is a very warm and welcoming place where the people still hold the door for you everywhere you go. It is, from my perspective, a mindful and respectful society of its indigenous people and various cultures that dwell within. There is a certain unspoken sentiment when wandering through the downtown streets and alley ways – as if being reunited with a long lost friend.

The ladies took me to the annual Folk Life Festival, where folk music (and food) from all corners of the globe were celebrated. We then turned out attention to the spectacular Experience Music Project, which has collections of the very foundations of the music of Seattle. Of course what tour isn’t complete without a ride to the top of the Space Needle?

Days later, we absorbed more of the cities history as we were guided through the Seattle Underground tour, where we saw lots of cool old stuff and learned about the evolution of the cities politics, infrastructure and social climate.

I highly recommend Seattle for anyone who is into music, art, culture, good vegan restaurants, and history.
