Shamarie Claiborne at the Alamo: Cacti 2014-04-12 - San Antonio, Texas - Photo by Shamarie Claiborne. In these parts folks put graffiti on walls like at Rock House bottom with spray paint. Around San Antonio they have a different medium to leave their mark. I figure the chosen medium might just leave a mark of it's own on the artist.- SHAMARIE CLAIBORNE Read More... | Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Shamarie Claiborne at the Alamo: Someone else's wish 2014-04-12 - San Antonio, Texas - Photo by Shamarie Claiborne. I caught a shot of someone's wish while resting on a bench at this fountain inside the Alamo compound. I got to thinking about all the wishes this fountain has accepted throughout the years. Then it came to me how privileged I am to sit among others wishes if just a moment. God has blessed me with more than I deserve -- so I chose to send a prayer up for God to answer at least the last wish thrown in that I could see laying in the fountain. - SHAMARIE CLAIBORNE Read More... | Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Right before I entered the Alamo Mission, which houses a shrine to those who gave their lives defending her, I looked up and thought how poignant this view was due to the loss endured to achieve it.- SHAMARIE CLAIBORNE Read More... | Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
