Hispanic Elvis

We met up with the self-proclaimed Hispanic Elvis. I've seen him all over town, but he lives on my side of town. I think it's great that he portrays Elvis and keeps true to the role. Everybody says that he is crazy, but I think he is unique. His life is dedicated to greeting people and causing shock and awe. I truly am proud that he is a part of the San Antonio ambiance.

A.C.T.S.

During practice with my group, I saw this coffee cup. I thought it was neat how the artist incorporated San Antonio by using the Spurs and the A.C.T.S. abbreviation. I've seen the A.C.T.S. abbreviation on many things, including bumper stickers and decals, but this is something a little bit more personal, since the owner will be using it to wake up to every morning.

Fiesta 2014

I'm grateful that the city extended Fiesta to two weeks. We are always very busy. We came to Fiesta early this year in case we couldn't make it out later. We always miss Fiesta. Now, we still have some time to make it out to another event.

Disney On Ice

I'm grateful that we've been able to make it out to all of these events since my daughter has been born. We have so many pictures of the magic that Disney creates on this tour. I'm glad that it is as interesting for us as it is for my daughter. And we got pretty good seats this year!

Keyhole Effect

I came across this while on Facebook. This is my cousin and one of her best friends. I thought that it was a great demonstration of the Keyhole Effect used correctly. This image is eye-catching and says a lot about my cousin just through her eyes. I'm glad that I came across this image by happenstance.

David Robinson

I am very grateful that this man decided to come to San Antonio and play basketball. I'm also grateful that San Antonio decided to wait on him, which I'm sure influenced his attitude to stay here in San Antonio and give back to the community. I saw the first game that he played in and instantly became a Spurs fan for life. I also owe him a debt of gratitude for creating an educational environment that pushes my child to be the best that she can be.

Graphic Design

I was remembering today how much design work I used to do at my old company. I also remember that I got paid significantly less than I do now. I am not great at drawing at all, but I think I find a way to convert my amateurish drawings into great design work. Doing what I do now is completely different, and I am grateful that I can do what I do now and still have a little time to do some graphic design work.

Texas

I was looking through my pictures and found this picture I took at Two Bros BBQ. It reminded me of why I am so proud of being a Texan. It is said that everything is bigger in Texas, and I believe that this depiction of the Texas flag shows just how real big our pride is in Texas.

El Musico

I saw this on the restroom door at a Mexican restaurant that we played at tonight. They have a woman in a folklorico dress for the women's restroom. I thought it was pretty creative. It certainly was a lot more entertaining than just having women's and men's labeling.

Le Madeline

We stopped by to get some food to go and ended up getting the desert. We couldn't resist. I love their presentation. Le Madeline has great food, and even though we couldn't eat there this time, we love their atmosphere as well.

Antique

I'm glad that I took the time to stop and capture this image. I was leaving work and noticed it sitting in the parking lot. There probably aren't many of these around. I don't know a lot about cars, but I know that the owner of this one is probably very proud and knowledgeable about antiques such as this one.

Money

I went to deposit this money at the ATM this morning and the sun shined on it. I hadn't noticed that they changed the look of the 100 dollar bill. I usually use a card, so this is one of the rare times that I will actually have cash on my, much less a 100 dollar bill. I am grateful that I at least have this much to deposit and that it looked good going into the ATM.

Savannah

I am glad that my daughter has a great cousin who is artistic. My daughter looks up to her so much. My niece Savannah wanted to go to college station to be a veterinarian. She decided to attend Our Lady of the Lake University. My daughter loves animals and wants to go to OLLU when she goes to college. It is so important for kids her age to start thinking about college. I decided to go on a whim during my senior year.

Time Machine

I am grateful that there are businesses that cater to the experience of a visit to their establishment. Having Cat Woman be our waitress was exciting to this little one. At the end of the day, she got her face painted. Places like The Magic Time Machine and Build-A-Bear Workshop make the trip to the place well worth it. I hope this teaches her that ordinary things like eating dinner or buying a bear can be exciting if you change it up a little with imagination, a valuable lesson in life.

Art

With all the digital media artwork on the Internet, and with all the Adobe and Adobe Photoshop design and artwork that I do, I do stop and appreciate actual artwork created without digital media, even though it might be replicated with such. There is a different sense of sensuality that is always present in artwork. You can almost sense the artist's feelings within the artwork. It is difficult to replicate this when your only interface with the artwork is a computer. When it is not, there are some sparks as the digital meets the traditional.

Multiplicity

As I walk through life, I try not to limit myself. I've tried many different things and have accomplished many talents. In music, I didn't limit myself to one instrument; in cooking, I didn't limit myself to the kitchen; in design, I didn't limit myself to Photoshop. In fact, I went into photography and programming. I cooked indoor dinners on the grill, and I picked up instruments from different parts of the world. I want to continue to grow, and I am grateful that I can see myself through different lenses and in different ways.
