While visiting the Van Zandt Hotel in Austin recently, I spotted this photo of Wille hanging on the wall. Looking into this photo, I find the photographer was in the Austin music scene during that time and did a great job perfecting his craft.
Just happened to be in downtown Dallas last Saturday and was taking photos of the ads that were on the side of the building and turned around to catch the reflection of the clouds on this building.
As I mentioned in my last post, there are hundreds of weddings each month in San Miguel de Allende and while wang around, I came across a number of photographers plying their trade.
San Miguel de Allende is a very festive town. We were told that there were literally hundreds of weddings there every month and lots of festivals and celebrations. On this day we came across a parade in the remembrance of when this area was recognized as city. Each neighborhood had their own marketing band and in some cases, as here, costumed participants.
On the streets of San Miguel de Allende, I would come across scenes that may he hard for some not to ignore. Int his case, a mother selling trinkets and snacks while her daughter is asleep at he side. The local officials try to discourage this and the tourists walk across the street. I am an old softy from way back help if I can.
On the streets of San Miguel de Allende I found this lady selling, what looks like, gift for children.
Once again San Miguel de Allende proved to be a photographer’s dreamscape.
San Miguel de Allende, Mexico is alive with shops, galleries, restaurants plus a variety of local businesses. Around every corner is something different and in this case a gallery and boutique.
While walking the back streets of San Miguel de Allende, Mexico we came across so many ladies who were selling a variety of goods and in this case, fresh flowers. Normally, I would have converted this to black and white but because of the rich colors in the building and the flowers, I decided it needed to stay as is.
