Commissioned by Texas Monthly Magazine, Retablos Fronterizos features a series of lyrical photographs and poignant literary vignettes that portray the moral, economic and cultural dignity of those living along the 1,254-mile Texas-Mexico border. The photographs and texts offer a personal narrative with the words and images of two sons of the border, Oscar Cásares and Joel Salcido. Cásares is the author of Brownsville, and his most recent novel, Where We Come From, while Salcido is the author of the photography book, The Spirit of Tequila. This exhibit illustrates the border of Oscar and Joel’s youths, a border of parents and tíos, of people raising their families, of people enduring, of people falling in and out love, of people dreaming their own dreams. It’s a story of the border, in photographic retablos, that intimately explore the places and people that continue to call it home, for good reason.

What my Mother Told Me, What my Grandmother Refused to Say is an intimate, parallel conversation regarding the conception of tradition, family history and the methodical analysis of one’s genealogical identity. This series documents my personal role as the kinkeeper within my own family, documenting oral narratives, partaking in biological research, as well as my own family’s history in relation to my personal identity. Through the dual presentation of differing concepts this body of work is intended to be presented in tandem, to define the complications, inconsistencies, confusion and truth regarding heritage and personal identity.

Bygone Texas – Our photographs are documents through the eyes of artists. We see beauty in the obvious signs of the passage of time. We have attempted with this collection of photographs to give life to those many places that are but shadows of former days. We have a fascination and a love for the lonely farm road leading to the next water tower, under which, more often than not, lie the remnants of a farm or ranch town. ¶ Over time a building not maintained slowly caves in and becomes overgrown. When left unattended the forces of nature begin to chip away at wood, stone, brick, cement and metal. To a photographer’s eye this transformation creates myriad timeless abstractions. We see a door or a window that may no longer function as originally intended but which becomes part of a wonderful composition. We are attracted to quirky juxtapositions of elements, which can be architectural or textural or even ironic. We look at random happenings to walls and buildings and like to isolate areas that create formal arrangements. Our images seek out subtle, close-in things that are easily missed –small visual secrets that are all around us. ¶ Wandering the nearly deserted streets of these towns we become more conscious of the ebb and flow of all life and enterprise. We experience a sense of quiet. The hustle and bustle of activity is long gone and we’re left to explore –to look inside abandoned buildings, to point our cameras through broken windows. The relics of past generations slowly collect the patina of decay and nostalgia as buildings are left to crumble of their own accord. Yet, behind these photographs composed of shape and form, there is always the reality from which they derived. The past is intrinsically linked with these places and hence these photographs. Part of the fascination is knowing that at one time these buildings held within their walls the dreams and hopes of people who have come and gone. Their histories and stories are never far from the surface. ¶ Our pictures are in a sense portraits –portraits of a certain time, of a way of life, of a type of people. But rather than a look at facial features, they are a look at the places people inhabit –the homes they lived in, the stores they shopped in. We started this photo project in 1983. Looking back at thirty-five years of imagery we’ve come to realize that in capturing this ephemeral metamorphosis it is as though we are photographing mirrors –mirrors which reflect back our own temporal lives.

Our lives are made and defined by the relationships we make with the lines we cross or honor (or honor by crossing). What does it mean to cross and how does that shape our humanity? What do we carry forward when we transgress what was thought to be the limits of our being? Representing points of human connection, transitions from one point of life to another, the worlds we build or break down, and the transitioning earth that tethers us, the photographs in this exhibit are an expression of our connection, our moments of intersection –each being a point of crossing. With the transformation of its entire retail space into an art gallery, Digital Pro Lab will showcase thirty photographs from 26 international, national, regional and local artists that will explore the exhibition theme: Crossing

Organic Transformations – Meaning of, relating to, or derived from living things that we see around us or has morphed into something totally different then it was. This is an exhibition of photographs by faculty and staff of San Antonio College who use photography as an art form. In their work they interpret what is organic in the visual world around them. Is an abandoned building less organic than a tree bark’s patina changes over the years? Their work gives evidence of the transformations found in nature, the human footprint, and the striving of living organisms to co-exist on earth. In past years they have explored the natural world in a series of exhibitions at the Eco Centro Center located on the SAC Campus.

San Antonio : A Perspective In Motion – In my photography, I enjoy using long exposures to help my images tell a story. The added compositional element of motion depicts a dynamic sense of intention and direction. In a sense, the resulting image is essentially a time lapse captured in one frame.The most intriguing aspect of the long exposure is that the camera sensor (or film) can capture and record an image that your eyes and brain cannot see although it’s happening right in front of you. An example of this is the image posted above, which is a twenty second exposure showing the effect of a lighted river boat that drifted sideways while also turning. Only this type of boat with non-changing lights, doing this specific action would produce the prism that was captured. It is safe to say that most likely this will never be captured again. ¶ Michael Tidwell is a member of the River Art Group at La Villita, and a member/organizer of the ViewFinders Photography Club.

James Gonzales – Having lived in San Antonio’s West Side for the majority of his life, James developed a sense for the arts at the young age of 8, when he received his first acoustic guitar, and received his first camera a year later. James began to take notice of street photography three years ago while walking downtown with street photographers Kimberly Hopkins and Jill Rapley, and he was drawn to the energy that the streets provided. Fueled by this energy, James is devoted to presenting life as it occurs, as candidly as he can in his images. Recently interviewed by Robert Ouimet on the podcast Ouimet Presents, James describes his love and passion for street photography in a 17 minute interview. ¶ Alexandra Nelipa – There is always a story between light and shadow; it could be simple and clear or hidden and mysterious.  ¶ Ray Palmer – In my series Dylan On The Town I have photographed my autistic son all around San Antonio. Many of the shots show him strangely apart from his surroundings. Eyes closed, awkward body silhouette, an inward sense. Out of thousands of pics I have selected the ones where he seems into his body and the environment. Since he is minimally verbal, I would love to know his thoughts at the time and what he was truly engaging in. ¶ Elena Smiian – Born in Simferopol, Crimea, she now lives in San Antonio. For Elena, water is pure art. Clean or muddy, sunny or dark, blue or green, mixed with stones or trees, leaves or concrete, trash or just reflections, water always looks spectacular and powerful. It is not only a source of life but also a source of endless inspiration.

Nocturnal is Wendy Bowman’s investigation into the life that sparks as the sun sets and the city goes digital. Bowman’s photographs confront the layers of perception through a synthesis of the natural and artificial. The subjects in her photographs are often isolated —their essences both accented and undercut by their context. Her subjects are caught at night illuminated only by the synthetic light of the city. The fragmented composition and vivid color in her photographs evoke intrigue with everyday artifacts and people that would otherwise be overlooked as ordinary. In Wendy’s images there is no linear, cohesive plot but rather a layered reality in which we exist solely through perception —where all objectivity is lost, and everything is glass.

Experience – I like to take my camera for a drive, or a walk, or a hike. As an avid hiker/backpacker I explore and photograph out of the way places. I like to capture images of interesting people, landscapes, cityscapes, and the macabre. In my San Antonio Street Photography series, a photograph displaying men’s hats is as meaningful as an old cowboy sitting on the running board of his horse trailer. My Chicago Street Photography series records local graffiti, a man playing an odd-looking accordion, children playing, reflections in windows and, naturally, some unusual and nearly abstracted views of Chicago landmarks. Two of my favorite photographic topics are my Odds and Ends (& Creepy) series (images of old shoes, discarded junk and strange juxtapositions); and the outdoors (images of the Canyonlands National Park, New Mexico, Three Rivers Petroglyphs, Salinas Pueblo Mission Ruins, and many others). ¶ After serving twenty years in the United States Air Force as a dog trainer, I retired in 2005. I am currently employed as a bomb dog trainer for the Transportation Service Agency (TSA) at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio, Texas. I have also trained service dogs and, yes, I do photograph dogs!

The Cat In His Underwear – These photographs, shot on the streets of Austin between 2009 and 2019, show the city through subjects grand and banal: cityscapes, bars, advertising, street art, street performances during South by Southwest, humor, odd juxtapositions, animals, ambiguity, University of Texas football, guns, religion, and music. Plus references to local celebrities like Willie Nelson, Stevie Ray Vaughn, and Farah Fawcett. The exhibition’s title, describes one of the photographs, and reflects the city’s irreverence and humor. A book of the same title is in the works. Ed has worked as a staff photographer for the Baytown Sun, the Texas House of Representatives, and the Austin American-Statesman. He also freelanced for various wire services and publications such as The New York Times, Cosmopolitan, Us, and Texas Monthly. ¶ In 1980 Ed joined the Peace Corps, and later became a foreign service officer asigned to United States embassies and consulates worldwide. He retired from diplomacy in 2010. Last year his exhibition about San Antonio, Selling The Alamo, was at Mockingbird Handprints during Fotoseptiembre. Ed currently lives in Austin.

Morning Honey for Beb – Influenced by her time growing up in Louisiana, Julie Ledet creates photographic collage prints, sculptures and installations grounded in southern culture and tradition. Exploring the ritual behavior specific to her native Southern Louisiana, Ledet examines the undeniable allure surrounding its culture, superstitions, and people. Religion, language, and the unique ways of life all converge and are exemplified in the subtle vignettes. Working from these sources is both a comfort and a means for understanding the complexities of the artist’s upbringing. The mystical character “Beb” is the personification of the struggle between living a life of virtue and vice surrounded by the temptation and decadence occurring in everyday life in Southern Louisian

– This project is about the very idea of America. Relatively speaking, newly created nation with tumultuous and perhaps not so just beginnings, but with an ideal to be a beacon of hope for the world. A nation made up of people from everywhere, coming to her shores, some escaping famine, war, oppression and some simply looking for better opportunities. Participants in the project come from all walks of life, some are themselves immigrants and some are descendants of earlier generations of immigrants. Participants are asked to write something of their ancestral background or any type of related statement on a small white tablet, which they show while being photographed.

Nowhere to go but Everywhere – Just keep on rolling under the stars. Fascinated with ideas of noiseless equanimity, I compose photographic portraits of slumbering individuals revealing ambiguous atmospheres of tranquility or quietus. Driven consistently through inclinations of introspection, I facilitate many facets of identity by necessitating visceral conflicts of anonymity and ambivalence. ¶ Propensities of substantial connections within our structural impersonal modernistic interactions prolong a lack of consciousness within our societal structure which provoke the query of our perception of wakefulness. Genuinely cognizant of societal perception is easily avoided as we constantly interpret the populace through facades, obliviousness, or dormancy, therefore are we awake amongst the masses or are we unconscious in our idea of consciousness? ¶ Utilizing the extraordinary phenomena of sleep, each portrait ruminates through conceptual inquiries of reality, existence and consciousness. Conceived from the perception of the bystander or spectator outside of the suspended conscious of each sleeping individual, implications of a dormant society reverberating notions of ataraxia or a cadaverous environment are construed. Distinction between wakefulness and sleep are often misconstrued while unconscious, but that concept is often applied in the context of the conscious, therefore, are we really awake?

Hanging On The Walls – Kimberly’s photographs explore and chronicle the poetic and lyrical nuances of daily life. City streets, people and public transportation are her visual language. Her passion for photography ignited when she picked up her first digital camera in architecture school, mixing her design influences to create her unique style. She believes every photo has a story behind it that allows viewers to appreciate her outlook on everyday life –informing and enriching them with her visual literacy and photo sequencing. Each photograph is an independent moment. As a collection, a narrative is built, guided by emotion rather than linear time. ¶ Kimberly Hopkins is a native Houstonian who has lived in San Antonio since 2011.

Schertz Photography Society’s 2019 Fall Exhibition – A Participatory Photography Exhibition is a collaborative exhibition hosted by the Schertz Photography Society and the city of Schertz Texas. With the transformation of the walls of Civic Center Building 5 into an art gallery, Schertz Photography Society will showcase seventy plus photographs from 23 regional and local artists curated using the Supported Interpretation (SI) model for visitor-centered exhibitions. ¶ When a photograph captures our attention, the artist generally has deliberately used certain elements to evoke an emotion and lead the viewer’s eye into the picture. For example, there could be a compelling subject, the photograph could tell a story, the photographer could have used color in a dynamic way, or the overall composition could create a mood or feeling. When browsing through the photographs in this exhibit, visitors are encouraged to explore why photographs move them and the role impact and technique play in their response to what they are viewing.
