Big River: San Antonio

A portrait of the city of San Antonio, as told through portraits of the people I found there. 30 portraits were painted in 30 days. I met retired cops, biker gangs and drag queens. Subjects were asked: 'When things are hard, what words do you tell yourself to make you get up and try again?'
