"As a child, my mother told me,
'In this world, Elwood, you must be oh, so smart or oh, so pleasant.'
Well, for years i was smart.
I recommend pleasant.
You may quote me."
- Elwood Dowd "Harvey"
I don't know how this quote relates ... except, that I love this movie and its worldview.
more tidbits of movie philosophy:
Graham: " in every other city ... you walk, you know, brush past people, people bump into you... in LA, nobody touches you... we’re always behind this metal and glass.
I think we miss that touch so much ...
we crash into each other just so we can feel something...
cop: you guys OK?
Ria: I think he hit his head."
- openng scene "Crash"
"There IS no spoon"
-The Matrix
and while I'm thinkin' about it:
"What's so funny 'bout peace, love and understanding?"
-Elvis Costello

and now for the mundane:
images are available for sale, just send me an email request.
I'm Female and Single.

Testimonials
suertudo says:
"Ana's got it photographically going alright..
An A for this year
hard on cameras though //\\"
Ten Directions says:
"I will start off by saying I LOVE tejana’s photos. Sensitive, varied, skillful, and creative are just a few words that meagerly describe her work. The flowers, cats, architecture, and colour studies all display her skillful eye and sense of balance.
Tejana's photos make me feel great. What a joyful and beautiful photo stream in the flickr world."
sam_ says:
"People are the building blocks of a good community. Although there are many places to share photographs flickr is better because of the community around it. Flickr keeps me coming back because I enjoy taking part in the community and seeing the work of my friends. For me Ana is part of reason I keep coming back to flickr. She has been very kind to me with her feedback and I appreciate all of her comments. Her words and support encourage me to take and to share more photographs. Ana is one block in a the great community I know as flickr."
