Attendant

New Braunfels, TX

This gentleman’s task was to look after the ATM machines that were built into a pair of vans. Seems like placing machines full of cash in a drivable vehicle would just make them easier to steal. That’s why they hired this guy.

I used to play tuba. I still can.

The line for the ferris wheel.

Wurstfest

New Braunfels, TX

My friends Hope & Elias are hosting a German exchange student in their home this fall. They decided to take her to Wurstfest in New Braunfels. I figured that would be like taking an American exchange student to an America during the Industrial Revolution festival in Germany. Still, it was fun.

From a recent trip to Atlanta. You might recognize Caitlin from this image a few years back. I finally had several rolls of film processed, so expect to see new work again.

Odis’ Jeep

Odis and I played tuba together in high school. I shot this several years ago, before we left Texas. Now that we’re back, I see him more regularly than I have in quite awhile.
