<LOL> She’s the quintessential white, female, Texan, who refused to buy the bullshit from the good old boys, that she was born into. And she has a wicked sense of humor:-)
I find this picture interesting and disturbing too.
The street scene looks so lively and colorful – I love the rainbow of colors.
The people gathering for an evening – the fellow in the foreground who looks like he is on a cell phone – the car… all of these will date this picture. So it is a record of a present moment.
The buildings on the street are each a bit different – presumably changed as the owners change and the “fashions” change. The coming Vietnamese restaurant indicates more changes happening, not only the business but the ethnic flavor of the street – another cultural change.
For me, the tall building towering in the background is the disturbing element. Though the shape is interesting, the size is daunting and distant – a monolith to…something else in the culture – something that is large and much, much less personal than the businesses on the street.
Molly Ivins
Great photo of her. Really captures her, imo.
That this is what Ivins looked like. In all honesty, for a few years, I assumed she was black. Don’t ask me why. These are great photos.

Perhaps our most treasured “engagement” gift is a postcard from M.I. with the Diving Pig on it.
She is a icon of Texas – the NYT blew it many years ago when they lost her.
One of my favorite writers. She says it like it is and she always makes good sense. Great picture…full of life.

Hmm, this picture looks familiar ;o)
You can feel the weariness and sadness.

A woman of whom I stand in awe. Such a touching photo. It shows the woman inside. Thank you for this.

Thanks for such a thought-provoking photo.
