Caption: The El Tiradito Shrine (The castaway). The shrine is located in a South Tucson barrio neighborhood. People come from all over the southwest to visit this shrine which is said to provide magical powers, they ask for help and pray for many things. Some visitors wish for help with a sick child or relative by leaving a photograph, a piece of clothing or a small momento. Some ask for the love of their romantic interest by lighting a candle with their secret lovers name written on the bottom, or maybe a poem or some flowers. Some people leave quarters under a candle to ask for help with money troubles. It is said if your candle burns throughout the night, your wish will be granted.

The original story about this shrine, which took place in the 1800’s, has been rummored to be a love triangle between a Hispanic woman who left her husband, to be with the man she truly loved. Supposedly the angry husband murdered his wifes lover. The Catholic Church would not allow the man to be buried in the Catholic cemetery because he was a sinner. The "Castaway" was supposedly buried on this site and his lover would go to weep by his graveside. It is said when the monsoon rain storms come to Tucson you can hear her cries at this shrine.
I think this is one of the most important photographs I have taken in a long time. I poured my heart, mind, and soul into creating this image. What I was thinking when I created this image and what I have learned about myself is more important to me than just creating a nice image. There is another very interesting story about my trip to the shrine but I will save that for another time.

It is my hope that by creating this image, I can help others to understand the beauty and the magical energy of the El Tiradito Shrine. Next time you're in Tucson if there is something you need a little help with, stop by this shrine. With a clear mind and a pure heart send your intentions out into the world. You will never know what might happen until you do.

Caption: The Story: Ted DeGrazia was a beloved Tucson artist famous for his paintings of Native American children. He was also a prolific builder. At his property in the foothills of the Santa Catalina Mountains, he built a gallery to display his work, a home to live in and this chapel. In 1953 with the help of his Native American friends DeGrazia built an adobe-brick chapel that he called "open to the heavens" which features an open air skylight running the length of the building. Although it is dedicated to The Virgin of Guadelupe, it is non-denominal. Many local residents in this neighborhood use this chapel as a place to connect with something greater than themselves, I think that is what Ted DeGrazia had in mind when he poured his heart and creative soul into building this tiny chapel.

Caption: Fires at San Xavier mages are from the San Xavier Festival Society which used to have a celbration representing the founding on the Mission, funding cutbacks have put an end to this yearly event which would take place the week before the Easter Holiday. Maybe when the work is completed on the exterior of the Mission they will have another big party.
