During World War II, the 201st Mexican Fighter Squadron, popularly known as the Aztec Eagles, fought along the U.S. Army Air Forces in the Philippines to much applause. Lt. Jesús Carrillo, who left as an aviation instructor, a single father caring for his two daughters, returned as a war hero. Tales of his deeds flying a P-47 Thunderbolt as he and his squadron dive bombed the port of Karenko flooded Mexican newspapers. Wherever he went there was someone with a camera wanting to take a photo with him. He obliged, but it made him uncomfortable. After experiencing the horrors of war, he didn’t want to celebrate them. He immediately retired from flying and came to Santa María seeking some tranquility for he and his girls. He bought a sportfishing boat and started taking tourists out to catch tarpons and blue marlin.

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.
