Found some old shots from the Day of the Mayday Melee. My camera actually got busted during the whole mess and I caught a few rubber bullets myself I think we should not forget what happened and keep the Immigration issue alive. I know there are a million other things going on now so I'm just saying let's not forget.

Agapito Iglesias no pudo ni podrá. Está al margen de cualquier hazaña del Real Zaragoza, desplazado por un entrenador que vino de la mano de otros y de una afición que le repudia aun en la salvación. Solo participa en el oscurantismo que le envuelve, en una sombras contra las que ahora, una vez ganada la batalla de la permanencia, tendrá que seguir luchando la hinchada. La felicidad estalló anoche y aliviará los próximos días después de una temporada reparada a última hora. (...) La gente del Real Zaragoza, risueña por el éxito, no puede permitirse morir por esta dulce migaja de espejismo victorioso. Resueltala permanencia con el Sí, se puede, le espera la guerra terrible e inacabada del Agapito vete ya.

This is the cover photograph of a Chicano zine called "Si Se Puede" (yes, we can) that I re-photographed and retouched. This optimistic motto of farm workers, coined by Cesar Chavez, has become a mantra for the immigration reform and thus embraced by Mexican immigrants in the US. The zine, published in Santa Barbara and distributed for free, shows a Mexican girl holding a machine gun.
This vividly colored painting, part of the Memories of the Future exhibit at the San Luis Obispo Museum of Art, portrays the Delano grape workers, who after a six-month strike marched to Sacramento in March 1966 to protest poor working conditions and low wages. They were joined by student activists, union organizers, civil rights workers and members of the clergy, in support of the farmworkers' struggle.

I saw one of my favorite strangers this morning. I stopped to buy the paper and asked him for a picture. He doesn't speak English and I don't speak Spanish, so I pointed at the picture of Obama and smiled. His face lit up. After I snapped this photo and started walking away, he called out to me. "Sí se puede!"

Day 100.
Pardon the poor quality. This has been one of heck of a year. I would like to thank everyone. The friends that stuck with me, and the new ones that i've met this year.
This year has already has a lot of ups and downs.
This year has been one of the most challenging. I'm learning patience, I'm learning how to be humble, I'm learning that all the things I have gone through have made me who I am, sometimes for the worst but most of the time for the better.
Again I want to thank those new and old friends.
We got more to do. This is only day 100.
Let's get it.
I want to take better pictures and grow so if you want to take pictures hit me up. Let's make something great.
