crystals

I went to grad school in New Orleans, and that’s where I learned that the most enjoyable times (for me) in the French Quarter were early in the morning. It feeds into (1) my dislike of crowds and (2) my interest in seeing the behind-the-scenes parts of things. In NOLA, there was always someone hosing down a sidewalk, which for some reason I liked to watch.

Anyway, the same theory holds on the Riverwalk in San Antonio – an early-morning stroll was empty of people…a nice thing for a photographer like me.

cinderella carriage

This? Just a guy in a horse-drawn carriage in downtown San Antonio. You know, a normal thing that you see. Sometimes.

pottery + door

Even before I got this imaged framed and focused, I knew exactly what I wanted it to look like…and I wanted it to look exactly like this.

the waiting

The train station in Lamy was busier than maybe I would have expected, with a smattering of people waiting on the 12:58 train from Albuquerque. There was the stationmaster, who told me that the station was “sometimes busy.” There was a woman with a ticket to Chicago and quite a bit of luggage. And there was this guy – and when the train arrived, I saw him helping a very old woman off the train.

glass spiders

Those cracks in the window glass made me think about spiders.

Full disclosure: I was also at the beginning of a weird allergy-induced headache, so there is a very good chance it was the headache talking about spiders.
