Buddha with Flowers

I captured this stone Buddha with the specific intention of creating a montage. That was in September, 2003! Better late than never….this montage is a combination of the stone mask, a butterfly, two shots of Verbena and 3 different textures. I did also apply a texture of cracks but thought it was too harsh. It took awhile but I’m happy with my interpretation!

Leona’s

If you’ve photographed El Santuario, you’ve probably also visited Leona’s Restaurante since it is located right next door to the mission. Leona is known for her tamales which she ships nationwide. I’m pretty shy about people photography but her restaurant was so colorful I didn’t hesitate to ask her for a photograph. In return, she received a large print. (2004)
