Modern Tradition


This is another picture that did not come out clear because of my lack of a scanner.  That's unfortunate because one of the reasons this is called, "Modern Tradition", is because of the remote control in the background that is not visible in the top left-hand corner.  My mom makes home-made "tortillas de harina"- Flour Tortillas for my father all the time.  I loved how her hands looked so hard at work and strong.  It reminded me of people many years ago farming and growing food for their families. And the women hard at work in the kitchen.  I thought the remote control had ruined the picture because I wanted to emphasize the "ancestor type culture", but my professor said she thought the remote was a great addition.  She felt it showed that modern families can still be traditional.  So, it stayed.
