Two Of My Photos Recognized On Peruvian Musician's Website

Okay, so the title was a mouthful but it gets the point across.  A few days ago I was on my Flickr account uploading more photos when I saw that I had an email.  The email was from a Peruvian Violinist by the name of Daniel Zamalloa who was born in Cuzco, Peru.  He had seen some of my photos on my Flickr page and wanted to know if he could post two of my photos on his website, I of course agreed and now the two following photos are currently on display with many others on his site:

 

In case the photos don't appear use this link to check them out: http://www.danielzamalloa.com/photos.html

These two photos were taken back in May when I went to Comas to visit my grandmother for Mother's day.  The photos depict what went down when I travelled with my father and a friend to Comas's Cementary that day.  If you want to read about what CRAZY events took place that day CLICK HERE!

For those of you who are not familiar with Daniel Zamalloa's work I highly recommend checking out his website.  Here is a little snippet that I took from his bio page:

"Daniel Zamalloa was born in Cusco, Peru, the ancient capital of the Inca civilization, and grew up in the old neighborhood of San Blas, renowned for its craftspeople and musicians. He began performing in a violin orchestra at the age of 7 and learned folk fiddle playing from master Eliseo Yare."
I also managed to find a few YouTube videos from some of his performances for those who might be curious or interested in watching.  He plays the violin beautifully and I love his interpretations of Peruvian Folkloric music.  Enjoy!
