Photos from several walks. Captions where necessary.

This is a new sign that popped up this week on a storefront on S. Congress Ave. 

There's still paper over the windows and no other information. Could be anything. 

Pretty sure whatever business it is it won't be aimed toward the geriatric 

demographic. Maybe a central Texas surf shop? Or just another THC store?

A group of young film makers interviewing people at random on S. Congress Ave. 

intersected with a group of people who were following along a corporate mascot

giving people free red roses and wishing them a Happy Valentine's Day. 

All very sweet. 

Ancient photo from a color slide. The scene is a Latina fashion show

from San Antonio. Circa 1990. Grabbing stage shots for the AV company 

that did the lighting and sound. 

Maufrais is an endless source of hat inspiration. As I have more and more

chances to visit my dermatologist I am liking the idea of hats more and more.

And, as a photographer, I like hats that have a lot of texture.

They photograph better in black and white. 

This image is NOT from a dedicated monochrome camera but I 

like it just as if it was. 

Unknown artifacts at a street vendor's display.

Skinny depth of field. 

The mannequin representative approved of the Carl Zeiss 85mm f4 ZM lens.

I was allowed to shoot the first three songs...

I must have liked the ZM 85 because I used it all day long one day. 

Mounted on an SL or an SL2.

The residual result of boredom and a stroll in a light rain in the early night time. 

On S. Congress Avenue. Armed only with a Leica M240 rangefinder and a

Thypoch 50mm f1.4 Simera lens. NOT from a dedicated, monochrome

camera but yes, from a regular, boring, mundane M240. 

Same as above.

One more experimental go with the ZM 85mm f4. 

If I remember correctly this shot was done on an M240, 

assisted by an EV-2 EVF. No frame lines in camera

for the 85. You could use the 90mm frame lines but I'd 

know I was cheating. 

That's all I know.  Today. Gallery Opening this evening. Pasta for dinner. Swim practice in the morning. Flower shopping after swim practice. And, yes, I cleaned the bathrooms. Hey, after all, tomorrow is Valentine's Day.
