From just four there became more. Fishermen and ranchers, sailing down from Tampico, carved out pieces of land of their own. They planted crops and carved paths through the trees with horses and cattle. Soon came their families. Wives and children and friends. Boars and deer were hunted, and the kills were shared among everyone. Families became friends. Friends became family. Everyone helped one another. A network of support. Amidst these blissful times, Sofía, the daughter of Armando Soto, fell in love with a poor young man from San Luis Potosí, Raúl del Canto, much to the dismay of her father.

Santa Maria de las Rocas collection image

A novella by Nicholas Gill and Alejandro Cartagena.

A collection of 151 “expired photographs” that were thrown out, collected from a tianguis outside of Mexico City by photographer and archivist Alejandro Cartagena and then pieced together and reimagined by writer Nicholas Gill. The 151-page novella tells the tale of the fictional town of Santa María de las Rocas, located in the Mexican state of Tamaulipas.

The story traces this coastal community from its humble origins at the turn of the century to the 1980s, as it corresponds to real events in the history of this corner of Mexico. As years pass, the landscape changes and the community grows and develops. There’s corruption and violence, magic and hope. Characters fall in love and fall apart. Their voices are heard. Their songs are sung.

The existence of this project is designed to question the very nature of storytelling and its possibilities in the digital age. As such, it’s done as a CO0, for free public use.
