Gabriel - Stranger 44/100

I met Gabriel in San Antonio, Texas on a side street near the Riverwalk. I stopped to ask some directions and he was happy to oblige.

 

He was taking a break from his job from playing the violin in one of the mariachi bands in a Mexican restaurants on the Riverwalk. He looked very dashing with his black suit and bright red tie. He had such a warm smile. I told him of project and asked if I could photograph him. He was happy to participate.

 

Gabriel is a native of San Antonio. His great, great uncle actually fought at the Alamo. He has been playing in a mariachi band on the Riverwalk since 1988. He loves his city and wanted to be sure that I enjoyed my stay.

 

I thank Gabriel for participating in this project. I know that he probably makes many people happy with his music on the Riverwalk.

 

This photo is number #44 in my 100 strangers project. Find out more about the project and see pictures taken by other photographers at www.100Strangers.com.
