Boricua: Puerto Rico by Isa Rodriguez
4 copies sold in 2009:))
A few scenes from my beloved “Isla del Encanto, Puerto Rico.
I went on a visit to the island for a family reunion , to celebrate the 50th wedding anniversary of my uncle to his wonderful bride. It was one of those trips I hold in a special part of my heart. All images taken in august,2008, with love. The pretty lady holding out her hand to the pigeons, is my lovely sister, Annie.

Oh, I absolutely LOVE your calendar! And your work, as well… our backgrounds are a wee bit similar; I grew up in the heart of Chicago, then lived in California for nearly 30 years, then I spent a decade as an Expat down in Baja. Now I’m back in Illinois but I couldn’t be farther from Chicago if I moved to Mars – we are WAY in the country here, without so much as a freeway or a mall for at least 40 miles all around! All that travel, all those different lives
- it does provide a unique perspective for our work! You have inspired me to do a Baja calendar (and here, I was wondering what kind I’d do, next!) It will be a challenge because although I took tons of photos, I did not have a digital in the 1990’s, sad to say. Going to mean some “SERIOUS” editing (!) but I think it will be worth it! Your images of Puerto Rico are wonderful! And I know how you must miss the place -! Once you live in a place like this, it is Forever in Your Heart no matter how far you go. I REALLY enjoyed this,Isa! A fave!Isa Rodriguez replied
Ms Tigue….. you have made me smile.. I so feel you on this.. i was here on a short visit. 4 days.. to me , that is extremely short visit, as I had not been in years.. and i was visiting family , so we were always rushed . and it is so hard to not be able to jump up and see the rest of the island.. awwww. I took high school years and college years here. and I consider it my home.. away from home , for sure..thanks so much , and I am so glad I inspried youto bring on the baja shots.. sometimes editing could be over rated.. their are a certain group of people.. super keen on shots exactly as they come :) lol. much sucess to you , and let me know when it comes out. and thanks for the visit
Nadya Johnson
Thanks so much for getting back to me! I can only imagine going back for a 4 day visit. Actually, things have changed SO drastically down there, I’m not so sure I want to see it anymore… right in that area, at least… which is one reason, we’re not down there in the first place! The Baja that WAS (in 1995) is not the Baja that IS, if you know what I mean… I will let you know about that calendar! In fact, I’m going to start tonight! (I do have to edit most of what I want to use – alas – because the prints are ok but the scans …? Hmm. Help is required! lol) Good thing for Photoshop!
