And he saw himself as a mischievous kid. He could remember that day in the park. It was not long after school had ended and he and a friend were joking around with a camera. They laughed as they took photos of each other. There was a warbler singing in the trees above. The smell of pineapple sage coming and going with the breeze. An old man calling out to sell paletas. He was happy then. He had not a care in the world. He could remember the thoughts that were in his head. He had been practicing magic for a few years, but he had yet to appear in the film. It was still so new to him. He was still learning how to wield it. It wasn’t a career. It wasn’t about money or fame. Just pure enthusiasm for the craft. Love for the art.

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.
