In the vast expanses of South Texas, small towns populate the landscape. Each one is a beacon of community and individuality. My photographs seek to capture the essence of these places, where every street corner, local diner, and empty storefront tells a story. Often overlooked, small towns are rich in history and culture. They are the birthplace of legends and the keepers of ancient traditions.
I find inspiration in places like Luling, Cuero, Mirando City, Bruni, Oilton, and many others, where past and future meet under the Texas sky. My images are a tribute to the quiet dignity of these towns, the resilience of their communities, and the unassuming beauty and unique narratives that flourish at their margins. With these photographs I strive to evoke the sense of wonder that these small towns instill in those who wander their streets –an admiration of the uncelebrated, a celebration of the everyday, and an invitation to pause and appreciate the artistry inherent in the simplicity of small-town life in South Texas.–Reuben Njaa

This series of photographs is a reflection of my deepest passions and creative expressions; a visual narrative of my personal journey, of the years spent in Los Sitios, my cherished neighborhood. In these images, I frame the beauty of everyday moments with my daughters, Avril and Mia; our life stories, our dreams, and the bonds we share as a family. It’s a reflection of my past, my roots, and the hopes that have sustained me through life’s challenges. It is also a tribute to the community that has shaped us; the streets and rooftops that have witnessed our laughter and tears, the simple joys and authentic connections that define life in Los Sitios.
Documenting our lives through photography is how I preserve memories, honor our identity, and share our story with the world; offering a glimpse into the dreams and aspirations of Cuban children like Avril and Mia. With my camera I find beauty in the ordinary, strength in community, and the pure joy of living each moment to the fullest.–Leysis Quesada Vera

MAX SEABAUGH (Santa Rosa, CA)
Cargoyles
Curated by Michael Mehl
With assistance from Ray Seabaugh and Laura Lamar
FOTOSEPTIEMBRE 2024 Monograph
Click HERE to view the Monograph
Max Seabaugh was born near the end of World War II in St. Louis, MO, and grew up in Kansas City. Born with a club foot, he picked up pen and paper rather than a baseball and discovered what became a lifelong affinity to art. His talent was recognized at an early age. He attended the University of Kansas Music and Art Camp, earning a rare certificate. In junior high he was commissioned to draw a series of 14 illustrations depicting Native American tribes for the Indian Hills Junior High School, undoubtedly his first paid commercial assignment. Being dyslexic did not help his academic career, but he always drew, and having the odd perspective of dyslexia didn’t hurt his abilities as an artist. He eventually attended Kansas State Teachers College, but his college career ended with a degree in cards and beer drinking. He moved to California in 1972 to accept a job at Communications Design in Sacramento, where he illustrated comps and mockups. One of his favorite techniques was making cut paper collages.
He moved to San Francisco in 1981 to work for a design studio in the Oakland hills. Later, he joined the design staff at Macy’s California on Union Square, illustrating posters for the Macy’s California chain. He would sketch out the poster design in pencil or make a miniature color comp out of cut ColorAid paper; the finished large posters were silkscreened in limited runs. In 1984 when Macys California was bought out by New York, the entire San Francisco executive and creative staff were given their walking papers during the “St. Valentine’s Day Massacre”. Suddenly free from his corporate job, Max began working as a freelance illustrator, serving design studios such as Pentagram and ad agencies such as Landor. In 1985 he officially began MAX Design Studio. At first, he worked in traditional graphics media, including drawing, painting, and his cut-paper technique. He illustrated a series of maps and brochures for Superbowl XXII in 1988 using this technique.
During this time the Macintosh computer was developed. Max was one of only a few artists in San Francisco who accepted when MacWorld Magazine offered him an early Mac SE and a chance to draw editorial illustrations. Apple and Adobe soon asked him to illustrate their publications and beta test their software. He developed a niche creating computer illustrations, infographics, and maps for high tech companies, corporations such as Chevron and Raychem, and for publications such as Mother Jones, Sierra, and Holiday. He continued to do some personal work using his paper collage illustration technique. He became known in the design and illustration community, winning awards and receiving print coverage in publications in the U.S. and Japan. He was invited to teach in the illustration department of the California College of Arts (and Crafts) –then in Oakland, now in San Francisco– which he did for ten years despite no teaching degree. He has also given presentations at various Design and Art Director’s Clubs, Mac Users Groups, and at Stanford.
In 1998 he moved to Santa Rosa in northern California. Working digitally made it possible to live and work in a remote location and serve clients country-wide. The focus of his work gradually shifted from primarily tech and corporate clients to the travel industry. On 9/11 the travel industry tanked. Max learned to drive a school bus and drove mornings and afternoons for over ten years, returning to work at the studio during the middle of the day.
–––
After Max retired to Santa Rosa, CA, he began shooting digital photos of old cars and trucks. Then, using the computer, he would mine these photographs as source materials for digital collage illustrations, developing a technique inspired by his cut paper collages. He used tools in Photoshop to colorize, cut, and paste selected elements, moving and morphing them to create bilaterally symmetrical images, which can be vertical (like a butterfly), or horizontal (like a landscape reflected in water).
When used in woodworking, this effect is called book-matching (see George Nakashima’s book, The Soul of a Tree), and results in two slabs of wood that appear to be mirror images of one another. The same effect occurs in series of letters, words, or numbers which repeat the same pattern at the front of a series as at the end, called palindromes, but these move in one direction only. Repeating similar effects over and over again from multiple directions allow the limited elements of the original photographs to become endless riffs on the same theme; we refer to these as palindromic art. In some ways they are like one-dimensional origami, flat images folded in on themselves repeatedly.
Max also likes to imagine that they are photographs of massive metal sculptures which he welded out of dismantled cars (true only on paper, alas). The lines where the images are cut and flopped along one or more axes develop what we call artefacts, or little digital glitches, which when enlarged create fascinating and unexpected crystalline patterns. Playing with his original photographic material of vehicles, and these techniques, eventually led him to create a series of digital illustrations reminiscent of primitive masks and skulls, tikis and totems, space aliens, demons and devils, bugs, fish, and other animal forms.

MICHAEL MEHL (San Antonio, TX)
Primate See Primate Do
AI Generated Images
FOTOSEPTIEMBRE 2024 Monograph
Click HERE to view the Monograph
As a freelance copywriter and creative director I had been writing prompts for decades. Print ads, radio spots, TV commercials, etc. would flow from the words I wrote –the prompts I generated– back in the stone age. Fast forward to the 21st Century, and this thing called Generative AI came around. I was attuned to the development of AI imaging since its earlier inceptions, but had not given it much thought. When the quality of text-prompted images improved a few years ago, the possibilities became enticing and I began experimenting with the available tools to create my own series of AI images.
I used to call myself a musician, a composer, a photographer, a digital artist, a writer. That seems quaint now, since AI can do everything I can do, better. In light of this, I prefer to think of myself as a music maker, an image maker, a wordsmith. I’m a craftsman –a macher, a maker– in the traditional sense of the word. The artistry has been taken over by the machine. But the craft is still mine.
I’m not informed enough to know the existential consequences of General AI, but I’m pretty sure that at some point the machines will take over. If the Singularity is achieved in my lifetime, I’ll be heading for the hills and will try to sidestep every cyborg that may come my way. For now, prompting images from my narrative descriptions is much fun, but I’m aware that ultimately what the machine wants is for me not to think about what the machine wants.

Primate See Primate Do is a series I created specifically for FOTOSEPTIEMBRE 2024, our 30th year of producing and presenting photographic exhibits in San Antonio and the Texas Hill Country. The images are self-explanatory: primates are copycats. We can’t help it. We salivate when we see the shiny new toys acquired, and activities engaged, by friends, neighbors, and more significantly, by so-called influencers. Me wants it too! Gimme Now!

HORMOZ (Paris, France)
Not For Me
FOTOSEPTIEMBRE 2024 Online Gallery
Click HERE to view the Online Gallery
Hormoz is a photographer and film director. At sixteen, inspired by horror movies, he started making short films and paintings, exploring a parallel world related to dreams and odd atmospheres. He is a self-taught filmmaker and photographer and his university studies focused on literature. He has worked as a photojournalist, covering nightclubbing and other social issues such as the affective life of people with disabilities. He has shown his work at the Maison Internationale de la Photographie, Agnès B, Galerie Rachel Hardouin and other international galleries and festivals. He teaches photography, curates and organizes artistic workshops in Paris suburbs and in prisons. His current work focuses on social issues in a movie about narrative choreography, and a picture book project which he started in 2014 in West Papua, New Guinea.
-––
The life of the homeless has always moved me. I find appalling the way society judges them. They are mostly excluded, and when engaged, it’s with condescension, sometimes with empathy, but rarely with an appropriate solution to their plight. Certain homeless people are survivors, courageous actors in a nomadic movement, full of a blurred vital energy that usually derives from self-induced altered states. They often carry themselves with a certain strength and dignity, characteristics mostly considered antonymous to their condition. Unfortunately their world lacks any sense of hope. They are resigned, ready to start over and over again, the same journey, by day and by night, wandering with all the other ghostly shadows moving along by their side.
My images are a reflection of this blurry world. My social concerns are there, but in my images I also seek the immaterial, a certain sense of freedom, a path for something beyond. We, the better-off, do not always know what may be a proper solution for the homeless. It’s best to acknowledge our limitations and respect these other rhythms, experiences and small moments of happiness –these different quests.–Hormoz

Having experienced the tensions of the Cold War, my first visit to Cuba was filled with apprehension. Growing up in proximity to the United States, I had often been exposed to negative portrayals of the country. However, what I discovered was a complex tapestry of experiences that echoed my travels elsewhere. While it is undeniable that Cuba, like many other nations, faces challenges ripe for improvement, what struck me most were the profound displays of passion, dedication, energy, and hope among its people. Despite limited material wealth, I encountered a society rich in values and artistry, an inspiring testament to the resilience of the human spirit.–Felipe Garza

For the past six years, I have had the incredible opportunity to travel to Peru three times, exploring some of the country’s most fascinating locations, including Cusco, Lima, Nazca, and, of course, the iconic Machu Picchu. Each visit has been a journey of discovery, as I strive to document the most captivating scenes that this diverse and culturally rich nation has to offer. Through my lens, I seek to tell the stories of these places and their people, capturing moments of everyday life, traditional festivals, and the raw beauty of nature. My goal is to create a visual narrative that not only showcases Peru’s stunning scenery but also highlights its rich cultural tapestry and the resilience of its communities. This ongoing project is a labor of love and a testament to my deep connection with Peru. Each photograph is a piece of the larger mosaic that I hope will inspire others to appreciate and protect the extraordinary beauty and heritage of this remarkable country.–Carlos Limas

Cornyation 1989 – Last Call (Of The Wild)
FOTOSEPTIEMBRE 2024 Online Gallery
Click HERE to view the Online Gallery
1989 was the last year Cornyation was held in the ballroom of the Bonham Exchange, San Antonio’s iconic gay nightclub. It was a memorable, wild, multi-day, free-for-all. It was also in 1989 that Ann, I, and our friend and designer Curt Slangal joined the Cornyation family, where we remained until 2001.
The theme of Cornyation 1989 was The Court Of Mythology. Tom McKenzie was King Anchovy XXXIV, with a costume and set design by Brad Braune (RIP). Ann Kinser (of the house of Van Vechten) personified Queen Pandora And Her Boom Box (representing the Last Temptation Of Christ) wearing a magnificent costume by Curt Slangal; the first of many impressive, clever designs that cemented Curt’s reputation as a top Cornyation designer throughout the ensuing decade. Also in the mix in 1989 was Gretchen Shoopman, Empress Of The Court Of Mythology, with a spectacular Majestic Theater costume designed by Robert Rehm (RIP), who was by many accounts the most significant Cornyation designer of his era. Susan Yerkes was Queen Draco The Dragon, with a design by Oscar Morales; Georgeann Simpson was Queen Of The Bachantes, with a design by Pat Wells; Stefania Baldesarelli was Queen Of The Fanatic Fatima, with a design by Amy Scheinman; Julianne Rasmussen was Vice Empress Of Mythology, with a design by Wayne Beers and Michael Bobo. Many other performers, designers, cast and crew contributed to that last wild ride at the Bonham Exchange. Bob Jolly (RIP) was the MC, and Ray Chavez was (and in 2024 still is), Cornyation’s indefatigable Producer and Director. In 1990, Cornyation found a new home at Beethoven Hall, and, with a somewhat toned-down demeanor, assumed its rightful place in Fiesta history.
Special thanks to Amy Stone for her book (Cornyation, San Antonio’s Outrageous Fiesta Tradition, Maverick Books/Trinity University Press) where she presents plentiful, well-documented information on the history of Cornyation.

Ruby City operated by the Linda Pace Foundation, presents the exhibition Unsettled Eye from June 1, 2024, through April 27, 2025. The exhibition is comprised of photo-based works from several artists in the Linda Pace Foundation Collection, many of which are new acquisitions and have never been on view. The show is installed in the newly transformed Gallery 3 which has, since the building’s inception, functioned as a black box theater.
The artists in Unsettled Eye use photography-based mediums to analyze familiar images, objects, and places. In their hands, however, these subjects are altered or recontextualized in subtle ways to destabilize our interpretations of our surroundings. The resulting works are at times eerie, grotesque, or delightful, prompting viewers to do a double take to better understand what they are seeing and its significance. These startling artistic examples instigate larger questions, asking viewers to examine more fully what they experience or believe. By offering keen and insightful commentary on society, power, and the creative potential of happenstance, the artists seem to suggest that only in reassessing our realities can we envision alternate possibilities or experience the routine as transformative.
Several of the works in the exhibition are new acquisitions the Foundation purchased or received as a gift. Tala Madani’s Shit Mom was purchased in 2023 while Paul Pfeiffer’s Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse and Laurie Simmons & Allan McCollum photographs from the series Actual Photos were gifted by Alice and Marvin Kosmin in 2023. Anne Collier’s Eyes of Laura Mars and Katrina Moorheads’ Woman Survives Fatal Bomb Blast Forty Years Before She Realizes She Has, were part of a transformative donation of prints to the Foundation gifted in 2014 by Janet Lennie Flohr and Hare & Hound Press but which have never been shown at Ruby City.

I search for moments of mysticism in urban landscapes: locations where time feels displaced, neither past nor present. The camera is a device that traps time and bends light, freeing objects to create new stories within the photographic frame. This unknowing of the known world creates a crack through which the dreaming world infiltrates and enriches my daily existence.
The traditional darkroom photographs from the series Lost & Found were collected over many years of wandering around Texas and into Mexico. Shot on film, most use pinhole or plastic Holga cameras. The imperfection of these cameras allows the real and imagined to co-exist through shifts in light, clarity, and spatial dynamics. The polaroid images were captured in Piedmont Cemetery, CA in the mid-1990s. The polaroids were briefly exposed to light mid-development by peeling them apart and pressing them back together, creating random shifts in light and color. The final images are digitally scanned and hand-transferred to metal plates. The unpredictable nature of these processes means some images flounder, while others find new life through this fusion of art and chance.–Rebecca Dietz

With over 25 years in fashion and art, Agosto Cuellar is the 2018 San Antonio Fashion Awards Cultural Pioneer Award, and Women’s Wear Designer of the Year 2021 recipient, who got his start as a local vintage store owner at Jive Refried. Featured in Elle Magazine in 2005, he showcased some of his original fur work which inspired him to continue his repurposed and sustainable fashion designs before pop culture made sustainability a buzzword. Tim Gunn (Project Runway) called him a “Wild Card” for his designs in New York. Cuellar is the proud founder and producer of Runway En La Calle, a project that ran for 10 years and pioneered the 50′ outdoor runway experience in the West Side streets of San Antonio, Texas. This project featured up-and-coming talent that would otherwise not have a platform for exposure, and allowed established designers to showcase their work in a unique event that pushed the boundaries of culture and art. In 2019, his collection was showcased in New York’s and Paris’ Fashion Weeks, with a homecoming in San Antonio at Fashion Week SATX™. He currently operates Augustine The Shops at Blue Star, one of the city’s most popular locations for sustainable fashion and in 2021 launched his label under the same name Augustine.
Jenny Louisa Giuffrida received a Bachelor of Art degree in Art, focusing on Photography, with a minor in Art History, from The University of the Incarnate Word, in May of 2005. Giuffrida also studied art at San Antonio College and UTSA. She is a native of San Antonio, who has been studying art in the community since childhood at the Southwest School of Art SMD, Guadalupe Cultural Art Center, and privately with local artists.
Puente is a professional photographer, rasquache artist, and community historian who works as a scholar-activist to build bridges between those who produce knowledge and the community that is the source of that sacred knowledge. As a self-expressed Rasquache scholar, they define this title as being unfettered and unrestrained, to favor the complex over the simple, the misunderstood over the conventionally understood and to embrace contradictions in thought and being. It is the space where low and high art can meet. Puente began their artist’s journey as a local photographer then pursued an Associate in Photography at San Antonio College as a non-traditional/first-gen student and has gone on to pursue graduate studies. Puente’s area of interest is San Antonio history and the documentation of cultural bearers and San Antonio artists. Their artistic influences include film, intersectional feminism, gender studies, activism, Borderlands, fashion, and Rasquachismo.

A little blue house in San Antonio’s Lavaca district, across from Victoria Courts, was a sanctuary for art, lovingly named Planta Mixteca Cultural House. This was the home of artist Agosto Cuellar and was a center for creativity for not only himself but for local community youth. In this space, was where Drag Dialogues was created in 1995 by Cuellar and photographer Jenny Louisa Giuffrida. Collaborating artists Beatle on this project included in this performance/installation were Beatle (Mary) Carroll and Fernando Perez who openly challenged society’s perceptions of queer identity while pushing their own personal boundaries of what expressions of drag can mean captured by Giuffrida on 35mm film.
Cuellar, in Drag Dialogues 95 is exhibiting topics and interests that as an artist he revisits in hybrid expressions throughout his career. Using his sensibilities as a rasquache artist he takes simple items and transforms them into art, adornments, and installations. As he evolved into a fashion designer over the years, his rasquache practice has finally been understood to the public successfully as sustainable fashion. As a designer, in his Runway in La Calle’s 2016 collection San Antokyo he revisits many of the original concepts he expressed 20 years earlier in Drag Dialogues, always pushing the boundaries of gender and conventional fashion design before main stream trends. In Drag Dialogues 2024 we revisit the 35mm photographic prints by Giuffrida that were shown in 1995 and have added new digital prints scanned from the original negatives that offer on a larger scale an appreciation of the brilliant original works.

Rojelio “Roj” Rodriguez was born in Houston in 1971 to Consuelo Reyes de Rodriguez, a Mexican immigrant from Guanajuato, and Benjamin Rodriguez, first-generation Mexican American with family roots in Texas and the Mexican state of Puebla. Raised, educated, and trained in Houston, Roj later moved to New York City where he would live, love, and work for almost two decades, first as an assistant photographer and later as an artist and commercial photographer. His commercial assignments gave him the opportunity to travel around the world and meet people from different cultures. This awoke in him a desire to deepen the connections to his own cultural roots.
In 2016, Rodriguez returned to Texas and in 2019 began to identify collaborators that would contribute their thoughts and reactions to a selection from the Mi Sangre body of work. In doing so, his project evolved into a profound, generous, and moving book. Mi Sangre is an autobiography of Rodriguez’s cultural needs and insights.

This exhibition showcases some of the Society’s best photographic works from sixteen regional and local artists.
When a photograph captures our attention it’s because the artist often uses specific elements to evoke emotion and guide the viewer’s eye, such as a compelling subject, storytelling through the image, dynamic use of color, or an overall composition that creates a particular mood or feeling.

Dock Space Gallery is featuring Ansen Seale for FOTOSEPTIEMBRE. Ansen Seale is a San Antonio based artist with works of photographic and sculptural art exhibited in museums and galleries internationally and collected by corporate, institutional, and private collectors. He was named Artist of the Year by the San Antonio Art League and Museum in 2020.
Photography has the power to fool the eye with stunning precision. In the capture of a fleeting moment, it can also reveal a truth that might otherwise be obscured in the blur of passing time. The artificial structures that photography (and to some extent all art) imposes on our awareness of the world, allow us to glimpse other realities. Or perhaps, our own familiar reality, when segmented frame-by-frame, allows for a different understanding of things.–Ansen Seale
Rather than suspending a single moment, Seale’s photography examines the passage of time. With this new work, time and space are folded back on themselves, creating an origami version of reality. Using special custom-made software, Seale’s photographic collages offer a unique perspective on the natural beauty and quirky uniqueness found in the landscape of the southwest. In his 45-year career as an artist, Seale’s work is notable for its versatility and experimentation. He uses self-made cameras and custom-made software to push the boundaries of what is possible with this medium.
With the Chiasmus series, Seale has created a body of work that is both visually stunning and conceptually rich, inviting viewers to pause at these crossroads and experience the visual landscape in a new way.

I started this series of photos sometime in January 2024. This is the third series in my nude projects. The first one, Earthly Bodies was about the relationship between human body and the natural landscape. The second in the series, Body And Mind was on body image, body issues and how the human body is perceived by the society at large.
In this new series, I’ve taken a slightly different direction, whereby the entire body is not in view, the lighting is minimal and the body is covered partially by a black cloth and surrounded by black in every direction. Also, instead of a single image of each participant, there are a selection of four images per participant done as a single photo. These three series of work span almost thirty years. In this time my own body has gone through many severe traumas and I, sometimes feel very detached from my own body. Some of the participants in this current project are of my age and some of their bodies have gone through some traumas too. I still believe in the beauty of the human body, no matter the scars, shapes, sizes or passage of time.–Ramin Samandari

Playing the game of Lotería (aka, Mexican Bingo) has been a long-standing tradition in households across San Antonio and the South. This unique new art photography series and game version by photographer Tracey Maurer is called, ¡Que Sabor! San Antonio Loteria (TM).
This food inspired photography project started out as a creative experiment during the pandemic. I combined my love for food photography and our local cuisine to create art and a version of lotería that pays homage to the historical games of the past. The emotional connection we have to food is as profound as the connection lotería enthusiasts have to the traditional game of lotería. The social interaction that occurs while playing the game is similar to that special bond when families or friends make a meal together. This photography exhibit captures our local flavor by showcasing dozens of traditional and iconic San Antonio food favorites. Each photograph was inspired by a familiar food after being meticulously selected from offerings at farmers markets, panaderías, taquerías, local mercados, or made in my own kitchen.–Tracey Maurer
¡Qué Sabor! San Antonio Lotería is Co-Sponsored by Dairy Max, the local nonprofit Dairy Council representing more than 900 dairy farm families across eight states. In collaboration with Dairy Max, photographer Tracey Maurer created the MiPlato Special Edition Lotería, a limited edition piece that highlights dairy imagery while emphasizing nutrition. Many of the images created for the limited edition are featured in this exhibit.

The Man With The Gray Suitcase emerges as an intimate exploration, triggered by the breakdown of a romantic relationship. Amid the pressure of not wanting to stay at home, I chose to distance myself from my household by requesting the agency I used to work for to assign me away from my familiar environment. Fortunately, my close relationship with the company allowed me to embark on a journey in search of the meaning of my existence and the reconnection with my pre-marriage self. Throughout various journeys between Mexico and the United States, I managed to regain my self-esteem, confidence, and rediscover love, while also expanding the boundaries of my imagination by materializing images that previously existed only in my mind.
However, with the onset of the pandemic, I found myself compelled to create my own landscapes and journeys. It is here where creativity becomes crucial to continue producing, merging studio photographs with natural environments, giving rise to conceptual and surrealistic works. The Man With The Gray Suitcase stands as a window to my past six years, where artificial light intertwines with natural light, where the real merges with the fantastical, and where the absurd engages in dialogue with the rational. It is a universe where fantasy takes on a real appearance, and reality, an unreal dimension. And you, when do you decide to embark on your own journey?–Nain Leon

This photography exhibit examines the development of feminine imagery in Deborah Keller-Rihn’s photographs from 2000-2024. Examples from various bodies of work such as Symbolic Transformations, 21 Aspects of Tara, Namaste, Lovely Kolam, and Traces of Perception to works in later shows such as Glimpses of Eternity and Lone Star Reverie show how the artist’s ideas have developed as well her experimental approach to photography and photographic presentation. Keller-Rihn’s work conveys a search for the Divine Feminine and the integration of the worldly and the transcendent. Indeed, the spiritual manifests in matter as the artist demonstrates how beauty can transform consciousness and enlighten a divided world.
