One morning, before Sasha woke up, I bundled up in my coats and sweater and walked around and took some shots.
I had no image of what I wanted to shoot, just whatever struck me.

"Chicano, Illinois"

"Orange Trees"

"Path"

"Borders"


"Faces"
And then, on the last day of the conference, I took a few shots at a panel I moderated called the Debut Chicano Novel, and later that night, a bunch of us went out.
