I saw an interesting store display in El Paso last month. It was like a “compare and contrast” essay about the differences between European and Mexican versions of Catholicism.
On a side note, this sighting did increase my annual “white baby Jesus” tally by one.

arms full of jesus
I really can’t understand why I actively avoided doing street photography for a really long time. But I guess I got to it when my brain was ready. Or whatever.
At any rate, here’s a woman I saw in downtown El Paso last month. She and Jesus were out taking a bit of a stroll and they were kind enough to pause for 1/480th of a second.

sign maker, searching for words
I watched this young man take a very long time, scrolling through his phone, looking for the words he needed to say.
Finally, he found what he wanted and began making a sign.

we trust
I am used to seeing roadside memorial along roadsides: I’ve photographed them for a very long time.
But what I can’t get used to is seeing them in town. This one is directly across the street from the police headquarters, which seems to add some drama and mystery to the memorial. I haven’t been able to find out anything about what happened or why there’s an upside-down Puerto Rican flag there or why those flowers seem to be not very old.

dome (reflection)
The Paseo del Norte Hotel has the best bar I’ve ever seen: there’s a 45′ diameter glass dome in the ceiling, which from a certain angle you can see reflected in a piano.
There’s no reason to take my word for it: go on over to El Paso and see for yourself!
