In New Mexico, in the colder months – though not necessarily so – there continues the Hispano tradition of the Matanza. A pig is raised yearlong with the intention that on a special day, perhaps a birthday or an anniversary or a wedding, it is slaughtered, cooked, and consumed at a gathering of extended family and friends. On the first cold and eventually snowy morning in November Jaime awaits the signal from his Abuelo – his grandfather – to begin.

I talked with you at the Hispano Chamber of Commerce Matanza on in Belen and was really looking forward to seeing your pictures. My wife and I have looked at some of your pictures on this website and are really amazed at how talented you are. Thank you for the time you spent with us. Am looking forward to seeing more pictures you took on that day.

Hi Ray,
Thanks so much for stopping by my website and taking a look. I’m hoping to get some pictures up this weekend – work kinda took up all my time this week unfortunately. I told my wife about Fat Sats and she’s excited to come check out the bar. Hopefully soon!
Check back near the end of the weekend for some pictures.
Cheers and thanks for the compliments.
Brian
