dirty windows
Our conference hotel brands itself as “historic,” which from what we could tell meant it was really run-down and outdated and had weird sticky carpet and windows that hadn’t been washed in a while. So if those things make a place historic, this place was definitely full of “history.”

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.

The Gig
I found the guitar cases that the wandering mariachis stashed during their shift.
Bu the main thing is that I can’t even think about this restaurant without thinking about Lyle Lovett’s masterful rhyme in his song “San Antonio Girl.”
Well it was late by then
We should have turned it in
But she was hungry
And I was interested
In Mi Tierra’s
Huevos Rancheros
We took some Polaroids
Right at the table
I mean, really – rhyming “Mi Tierra’s” and “Huevos Rancheros.” Genius.
