Chilling Flight
The ascension From the outside it appears to be just another ordinary old European church in yet one more ordinary little village in Portugal. But ere lie many secrets and mysteries yet to be told. The church is known as “Capela de Ossos” (Chapel of Bones). Many of its walls and structures contain thousands of human bones. Thoughts dark berth in the inner spectrum of your mind… First question is who did these bones belong to and why were they used in this manner? No one could give an honest an...

from Rota with Love
From Rota With Love If when in Rome you must do as the Romans, then when in Rota you must do as the gypsies. So, you ask, exactly what do gypsies do? For one thing the gypsies excel in the performing arts and it’s mostly homemade and improvised. No art seems so strongly possessed with expression of human passion and emotional love as flamenco. Gypsies sing, dance, clap and share their fiery alegría with all who open their ears, eyes and heart to their message. But the music is purely feelings ...

Of Fish and Men
In the processes of making these small films I’m every day making great new discoveries of life and myself. I’ve often captured a movement in time that I went through before but missed its content and meaning. After all these years I find many things I missed before along the way that I should not have. I didn’t quite grasp the meaning of many things observed because I didn’t know how to look or what to look for.

Botello's Rota Marines 2010
ROTA MARINES,Here you have it. What the barracks is like now in 2010. I must say we have to be jealous. These guys have many creature comforts we didn't. I guess one big on is that the old quarters building was torn down and a new build. There are balconies and no squad bays...only rooms that allow 4 occupants each. The old HQ is still there but has been restored with weapons maintenance facilities in front and back. It's not the office anymore. A new HQ was constructed just across from the ol...

Avella Castello: Historic Encounter
EXPLORATION AND PHOTOGRAPHYDon’t let anybody kid you…field photography and archaeology exploration are great endeavors but they can bring risks and perils. As usual I didn’t know this site beforehand so couldn’t expect to deal with treacherously steep, slippery slopes of loose damp soil heavily encrusted with sharp stone construction blocks and jagged fragments. The shoot was a spur of the moment decision on my way back to Avellino from Nola. Believe me, it pays to be properly equipped and do ...
