Rich, Colombian vacation

Off

Spent the last week in San Andres, which is apparently part of Colombia. Had a most excellent non-X-mas there, drinking Coco Locos, booting around the island in a golf cart, and otherwise making a nuisance of myself. Got some pictures to prove it.
First, the obligatory picture of me in a hotel room, to prove I left my house:

This is my hotel in the back, there. It’s five minutes from the airport, if you’re a sand crab. Planes were taking off every couple of hours right over my head:

Even though we were in the tropics, there was still a lot of X-mas crap lying around. We even saw Santa drinking in a bar:

There was a lot to see from the back of a golf cart. This beautiful spot was on the road to San Luis. It was just about to rain a monsoon down on us:

This was our most common sight from the safety of the Decameron Mary Land hotel’s pool bar. It’s a wee island called Johnny Cay, just of the north tip of San Andres:

About This Site

As a guy who occasionally curates art shows and wrangles artists together, I often have to edit and post artist bios, profile pictures, and artwork images. This can be a problem, since many artists and writers aren’t used to selling themselves. Artists rarely know how to present their art for display in a brochure, and writers aren’t used to writing about themselves.

Writers often treat the bio like it’s an interview or something. Maybe like they’re having a conversation with you, the reader. While it may work sometimes, the most common way to write a bio is to write in the 3rd person.

I’m like those writers, and I’m talking to you directly, unlike the common way to do a bio. You should see my About page. It makes sense to me, since this is a bit which describes my blog’s website. When I get famous enough that I don’t have time to talk to you, I’ll have an intern write everything in 3rd person. Until then, you get to talk to me.

Like blogs of old, this one is a personal document of the comings and goings of me. Articles I’ve written, links I’ve posted, videos I liked, etc. Here, a first-person perspective is the way to go, at least for now. So, this is my site. I’m D. H. McKee, a sometimes artist, sometimes writer. Mostly just a guy on the internet.
