rancho
As soon as I saw that sign, I knew I needed to make this photo. At first I thought it just absolutely needed to have the spires of St. Rosa Catholic Church rising behind it. And so that’s the way I framed the image and the way I made the first few shots.
But as soon as I saw the phone booth (a phone booth!), the spires became completely unimportant.

Tobias was many things
Tobias – hijo, hermano, tio, y artista – must be missed by many people.

gold + opals
And here is an example of the kind of jewelry that I would never, for even the tiniest slice of a second, think about wearing.
And here is also an example of the kind of jewelry that I will definitely photograph.

train depot, restroom
If you think it’s weird that I am always watchful for photogenic things in restrooms, maybe this colorful scene from a small train station will change your mind.
Or, maybe it’ll just be further evidence that I am weird.
It could be both of these things, actually, now that I think about it.

trash/stairway
San Antonio’s famed Riverwalk is below street level, which adds some interest to walking around. If you get really lucky, you can see the street-level entrance to a bar or restaurant and at the same time spot the river-level back stairs where last night’s trash awaits collection.
In this case, I was looking at the back stairs to Dick’s Last Resort while standing next to the street-level doorway; a little bit later that same morning, when I was on the river, a man setting up tables for Dick’s L. R. called my attention to cat that was stalking a couple of ducks*. That was a nice bit of coincidental symmetry.

*The ducks escaped a feline-induced end when the cat ran away. In case you were worried.
