I can’t believe that my self portrait project officially winds down today…   I’ve been looking forward to this posting for a number of selfish reasons.   I’m looking forward to not having to worry about setting up a photo at the end of a long day if I hadn’t taken any pictures during the day…   I’m also looking forward to not feeling bad for not taking photos when I was out having a good time.

At some point tonight or tomorrow, I hope to pull out my 10 favorite pictures of 2012.  I recently discovered a few places that will allow me to bind and put together a hardbound book of all my photos and hopefully the journal entries of 2012.

To all my friends who have helped & supported me with incredible feedback throughout the year, I want to dedicate this project to you.

I thought about possibly doing a 365 Albums in 2013 project…   where I would listen to a record and write a review for it every day.  But I’m thinking about just taking 2013 off and focusing on work, time with my newborn niece and investing time into friends & new adventures.

I look forward to sitting down with more regularity to reflect on topics that aren’t exclusively me doing something silly or contrived. 

besos,
El Rollie

I don’t really drink all that much anymore, but wanted to take some FM Roads to something/somewhere and arrived here of all places.  Roughly 75 miles from my doorstep, all the Shiner Bock beer one consumes, leaves
Hello,

Over the summer, wrote an essay in response to something I saw here in San Antonio.  I’ve been hesitant to write and publish things for nearly a decade but something has changed in 2025.  I’m exploring more opportunities to artist
Lost myself once in a soundscape.
Transported to a time and place; that was better than here.
Fleeting of a moment it was…
I’ve chased it every waking moment since.
It looked just like this.
Last week, I got to share a story about a very specific evening nearly 30 years ago that took place on South Padre Island.  Definitely want to thank @texaspublicradio and @tori_bori_allegory  for allowing me to be a part of Worth Repeating as a story
A small Mariachi concert was held tonight featuring Juan Ortiz @juanbortiz6 of the World Famous @campanasdeamerica over at @casapinktx.

Just before said event,
This is “Turbo”, he’s a tortoise 🐢 and incredibly friendly.  I’ve never been that close to a tortoise before, so we kinda looked blankly 😐 at one another for a long while.  A sign by its enclosure said he could be fed lettuc

The Great Egret, an absolute triumph of natural design. 

I studied and shared an afternoon with this Dino descendent for about half an hour.  I couldn’t get over the blinding whiteness of its feathers and how Mother Nature blessed it with such
