While we were heading to North Beach from Pier 39, we heard drums from the distance. I thought they were part of the 70th Anniversary North Beach Festival. The drums got closer and closer until it was behind a public library on Columbus Street. As we turned around the corner, we saw these folks, sort of, in Aztec costumes jamming with the drum beats. It was delightful to watch the lead dancer making her move in rhythm. I took a few shots of them and continued to watch for tens minutes before heading off to the festival.

looks like I did some TIME TRAVELING for this shot ((:
.... but i took it just the other day in my pueblo..... while 'dancing backwards' in front of this Pre-hispanic Danzante (Dancer) at a local parade. i don't know if his look was for 'really' playing the part for me, or if he actually was getting fed-up with me and my camera in his face (((:
whichever the look was for, i love it!!
((((: i will try and find this man in my village... by asking around..... and i will let you know, maybe this is how he looks always (((;

An original design which reminded me of the Aztec square pyramid temples. Lots of opportunity to enhance the 3D aspect with shading :)

Lettergraphics International Letter-Fan Index, Germany, 1969.
Aztec is a film typeface by Lettergraphics in Culver City, California. It’s special in that it aims to create a 3-dimensional effect by adding a gradient of dots to the wide sans-serif letterforms with rounded corners. Aztec is already listed in their 1968 catalog.
Doorways at Aztec Ruins. Despite the name, bestowed in the 19th century, the site has nothing to do with the Aztec people. This pueblo was built by Native Americans in the 11th century and occupied through the late 13th century. It may originally have been an outlying part of the Chaco Canyon culture that later evolved into the center of its own extended community. Aztec Ruins National Monument. San Juan County, New Mexico.

▶ "The Black dancer and cabaret performer Josephine Baker took Jazz Age Paris by storm in the late 1920s with her revolutionary and risqué dancing at the Folies Bergère. This sculpture, the last of Calder’s five wire renderings of Baker, conveys the essence of her dazzling physical presence and public persona. By articulating her body so that it sways with air currents, Calder captures her dynamism, instead of merely recording a physical likeness."

Taken in full color but, because of the white walls and black wires, appearing as if monochrome.

Today Helen and i drove to the Cherokee Nation to observe the gathering of many native American tribes for a celebration of their native dance and musical traditions.
These were the Aztecs who were - in entertainment terms - a hard act to follow!
It was all wonderful and we had a great time. Will post more later.

Bambi is waiting for me to remove all my watermarks from my Flickr pictures as they 'seem to be against' Flickr policies... my account as been tagged and my photos no longer show up in public searches or groups. I had to delete all for adoption posts and all sale related... even so this wasn't enough. They want me to remove my watermark...
I can't understand this... but as we say in portuguese: they have the knive and the cheese in their hands.
The Pontiac Aztek is a mid-size crossover marketed by General Motors from model years 2001 to 2005, along with its corporate cousin, the Buick Rendezvous.
As a 4-door crossover with a front engine with front-wheel drive and optional Versatrak all-wheel drive, the Aztek featured a four-speed automatic transmission with a V-6 engine. Marketed by Pontiac as a "sport recreational vehicle," the Aztek used a shortened platform shared with GM's minivans (e.g., the Pontiac Montana) featuring 94 cubic feet of cargo room with its rear seats removed. The design employed conventional rear outswing doors rather than sliding doors and a bi-parting rear tailgate, the lower section formed with seat indentations and cupholders. Other features included a front center console that doubled as a removable cooler, Optional rear stereo controls in the cargo area, optional sliding cargo floor with grocery compartments and optional camping package with an attachable tent and air mattress.
The Aztek was noted for its styling, which was instantly controversial. Pulitzer Prize-winning automotive critic and syndicated columnist Dan Neil, in naming it one of the 50 worst cars of all time, said the Aztek "violate(d) one of the principal rules of car design: we like cars that look like us. With its multiple eyes and supernumerary nostrils, the Aztek looks deformed and scary, something that dogs bark at and cathedrals employ to ring bells. The shame is, under all that ugliness, there was a useful, competent crossover."
The Aztek had among the highest CSI (Customer Satisfaction Index) scores in its class, and won the appellation of "Most Appealing Entry Sport Utility Vehicle" in 2001 from J.D. Power and Associates, an independent consumer survey organization which noted: "The Aztek scores highest or second highest in every APEAL component measure except exterior styling."
Matthew DeBord of The Big Money argued that despite its poor reviews and sales, the Aztek was the car that, in the long run, could save GM. He praised GM for being daring and trying to create an entirely new market in vehicles, rather than simply copying successful formulas. He argued that the Aztek's failure is similar to the failure of the Apple's Newton and Mac Portable – two failed products that revolutionized the computer industry and became the basis for later successful products made by Apple.

Daily Shoot: January 3: Icon or Symbol
100 Pictures (2011) #22 Sun
An aztec sun is a symbol of Greek mythology and is highly used for basing tattoo designs, wall hangings and other art forms from.
This, one of many hieroglyphics, dated 1450 AD, shows the importance of cocoa in the lives of the Aztecs who settled in Mexico from 1375 till the Spanish came in 1519. The top right segment shows 'god' drinking cocoa and it is currently on display at the Chocolate museum in Cologne, Germany.
The origin of the word chocolate is not known. Some say it comes from the Mayan word 'chocola j' which means to drink chocolate together. The other main theory is that it is a mix between Mayan word 'chocol' (hot) and the Aztec word 'atl' (water). Either way, they loved it so, that they painted their passion in hieroglyphics!
