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.

This building is boarded up now, but back in the Olden Days of 2014, all I had to do to see this scene was to walk down the alley and look through the broken glass.
The real question here (and it’s one I cannot answer) is why I would have waited 405 weeks between when I made this photo and when I posted it.

i couldn’t see (an abstraction)
Hello, and welcome to Tricks of the Trade Friday. Here’s another one in my ongoing series of photos shot through dirty windows. I guessed* at the focus, held the camera as high as I could, put it right up to the glass, and made the photo. I am not quite sure what the camera saw, but anyway – here it is.

* It was a guess. I cannot really claim it was even an educated guess. It was a straight-up guess.
stepping up
Well, just look at what I went and did! Yes! I walked around to the back of this building. It was worth the trip, because I found this nice scene, just waiting for me to arrive.
