This is a mask at my other old home. My housemate had it all decorated already. I think I was still too young to have my own cultivated space. I don’t think I really knew what that meant but I’ve lived in enough amazing spaces that I think I’m finally ready to put in the work to make somewhere great.
It’s almost fall. And also, my old neighborhood. I needs to move somewhere soon. Going home doesn’t feel like home. It just feels like the nicest hotel you’ve ever stayed in. $500 live-workspace or $595 pretty apartment in an awesome secluded area. Both sound appealing. I just wish I was homeless sometimes. Don’t know why.
Smoke rings. June ‘08.
Sometimes I have favorite pictures I took that I don’t even put on here. So there.

UniteHere makin’ it happen. So brave! (Taken with instagram)
EDIT: Well, geez, iPhone won’t let me put up caption or tags. So here’s the story: 21 July, there was a Rally for Justice on behalf of Hyatt workers across America. I think several cities held their own rallies. Here in San Antonio we gathered at the Grand Hyatt on Market Street to protest the abuse and exploitation of our housekeepers. There was a great turnout and, huge surprise, they took it to the next level by blocking off traffic on Market Street (rush hour, mind you). They held hands and sat right in the street for a good 10 minutes before being arrested. Two of my buddies were sitting there and I couldn’t be more proud of the stand they took. Hopefully, this will bring awareness to the plight that many hotel workers, especially housekeepers, are in. Did I mention it was a good 100 degrees? That asphalt was hot!

Can’t decide if I like hipstamatic or instagram better. Either way it’s fun taking quality pics with a phone. Just gotta keep making prints for my collection!

Going to some outdoor screenings the San Antonio Film Fest is putting out but before I go, I wanted to show off my gorgeous Hipstaprints. I’m pretty much addicted to iPhone’s Hipstamatic when I’m out riding my bike. So much lighter than either my Nikon D40 or my Mamiya. I think I’ve captured some pretty awesome things on my adventures so I’m happy to actually have prints of them.
I think this new year’s resolution of putting out more photobooks or making prints is going really well. I’m happy to truly own my photographs!

While on my East Side bike ride, I just had to stop and take a picture of these awesome doors of an old Methodist church. The whole neighborhood is just classic!

Another successful bike ride. Today East Side, Hays Street Bridge.
