What's up everyone welcome back to the daily p-fab this is episode 110 for Thursday August 9th 2018 It's now 10 20 p.m. Here on the east coast and very busy day in evening for me with all of the EMS stuff Happening at my real full-time job. We actually started our second tactical EMS training class For this year back in 2016 we started our tactical EMS team because of all the crazy school shootings We had to train our paramedics and the MTs to be able to enter into that type of a seat if it ever happened around here Not usually Excuse me usually about an eight week training program that started with a physical fitness test and you know The eight weeks worth of training and so we did that class two years ago We didn't do one last year, but we just started a second one tonight So this evening I had five new candidates that worked for me start off on their quest to become tactical EMTs and paramedics so you know, I guess schools right around the corner It's now time to start thinking about school shootings and that's to me very sad to sad state of affairs We even have to think that way in our society But nevertheless we do and we're getting trained and ready for that so that's the oh, we got sorry But so that's the EMS stuff Today I post two more pictures as I promised on last night's episode posted the picture from harvest key in Belize and I posted one like an hour or so ago from Costa Maya Mexico part of my faces Around the world series and so when I was in Belize, you know again much different island than Rotaan and Honduras, you know Rotaan is gorgeous Place around the ports and around the West They or the West End beach or whatever it was technically called but you know the rest of the country again very very poor very third world Good, but then you go to Belize and it's just this tropical, you know exotic heaven like if heaven is a you know Island in the middle of the Caribbean see this is it, you know So the portrait I wanted to do for that one obviously would be a you know Honduras You know it was the older gentleman that just had that you know natural Look to him that I wanted to represent Rotaan and then for Belize I wanted to find someone youthful and exotic looking that you know when you look at them You know, you know, you think of exotic Caribbean island and so the first person I saw actually was this girl probably in her twenties and she was actually working at the marina and she had that face that exotic island Like face and I kept you know looking at her and thinking you know This is the portrait I want to do for for Belize, but unfortunately she was so busy I could never find an opportunity to you know go ask her if I could do a picture of her So I found the next best person and it happened to be the young man that I posted today He was just kind of you know, he was a worker on the island and I just went up to him Who I was what I was doing and you know asked him if I could take his picture and he said yes of course And you know you actually asked me you know where can I see it? So I gave him all of my social media info in my photography website He's yet to you know find your follow me, but you know hopefully he will find his portrait and be able to enjoy because I think that again It really captured the spirit of the The exoticness of that island and you know the tropical you know climb it that you know that he lived in and you know Where he was born and raised so I really enjoyed that picture the other one I just posted definitely man this this one was very I want to say it you know so I used to live in Mexico and when I lived in Mexico I was always fascinated by the Mayan culture and Every time I've been back to Mexico to visit since I've always gone to you know either Tulum or Chichen Itza or you know any of the you know Taurus the Mayan you know places, but I'd never had the chance to actually be in a real deal still You know living working Mayan community and that's what coast of Maya Mexico is you know they have the port there, but it's still very much Mayan occupied land and you know there are people that still embrace and live that culture and they still live in those types of I don't want to say hot spot, you know their shelters or whatever they're called and they still dress that same way They still prepare food that same way and you know so the young lady whose portrait I posted to represent the Maya You know, I just I just love that picture.
It's just very you know To me it's just a badass you know picture there's so much strength and power and history and culture in her face and the beautiful Thing about it was I actually shot her whole family. I shot the father the mother her her brother and You know I'm not gonna post all of them I will you know when I put my faces around the world gallery on my portfolio You'll be able to see them, but you know I really kind of like her picture You know the most out of all of them out of the whole family that I thought but it was just it was fantastic to be able to you know Be that close to to real Mayan, you know people that's still you know They just won't let their heritage go and it was amazing and so I love that portrait You know it's just just such a thrill for me to be able to say I actually got to shoot that so those are the two pictures for today tomorrow I might actually throw up the last three because there's two from Cosmo that I want to do I have an old west Mexico picture portrait that I did of a gentleman and then I have the more modernized traditional Cosmo Americanized Cosmo type picture that I'll put up there, but then the surprise third image is By far to me one of my favorite pictures from this whole adventure and I'm not gonna give away There's just an absolute ton of emotion and Feeling you know behind it.
