Is there such a thing as a publishing artist? Well, we managed to get some photos published in More, Canada's Magazine Celebrating Women Over 40! Patricia Robertson asked us to shoot her, while participating in one of Susana Trilling's cooking classes in Oaxaca, Mexico. Quite a story how we got that gig.
Oaxaca is not high on everybody's travel plans, as it has been on the advisory list, too much friction between the locals and the federales. Nevertheless, the place is full of highlights from Mixtec, Zapotec and Spanish cultures. A few hardy souls make every year the long trek from Canada to spend the winter in warmer climates. For some, a campground above the city of Oaxaca serves as the final destination, for others it is an oasis and save haven on their journey further South. It was here, the San Felipe campground, were we met Patricia and Grant, two writers from Saskatchewan. One day we were all invited to visit a Mezcal distillery. We shot some pictures, they liked them and we parted ways. Some weeks later we get an email from them about the possibility of a paid shoot at a cooking class. Long story short, a few months later we fly into Oaxaca, spend 3 productive days in the city, and come November 08, we have 12 of our photos published. My lifestyle!
