Streets are full of life
There’s something going on here. I’m just not sure what it is.

A stunning vacancy
I have a bit of a fascination with this building. On two different work trips to San Antonio, I could see it from my hotel room. Of course, I photographed it. It looms over the River Walk, and I’ve photographed it from there as well.
From what I can tell it’s the only building along this part of the River Walk that’s vacant. That raises a lot of questions. Is there some terrible flaw that makes it unsuited for redevelopment? Was an awful crime committed there? Is it tied up in legalities?
Also, from what I can tell, it’s got potential.
And it’ll be a sad day for me if I get back to San Antonio and the place has been torn down.

More good news. And it came at a good time.
I’ve been spending this week in the hospital, because I had knee replacement surgery on Monday. Late yesterday afternoon was when the nerve block wore off and I started to feel like, as my friend Pat Maines says, “hammered dog shit.”
No details, but I’m a terrible patient.
Anyway, in the midst of the torture sessions they call “physical therapy” I received news that two of my images have been selected into a show called “Dream” at Darkroom Gallery in Vermont. Susan Burstine was the juror. And, as always, my profound gratitude to everyone who follows this blog, for I couldn’t do it without you. And big thanks to Jocelyn Young, who told me about the show.
The juror chose “i dreamt i was an angel”, which I made in Santa Fe:
And, making its second appearance in a jurored show is “Dusty Ghosts of Time”, from Trinhcera, Colorado.
The Saint and the Hollyhocks
And so, another day ends, with the Saint in the sun and his flowers in shadow.
