A color photograph of a dark-haired and bearded man in a suit, shot from the neck up, standing in a tie shop, next to a colorful display of ties in a cubby-grid. He's looking straight into the camera with little to no expression on his face. The background is a maroon wall and display shelves, all out of focus.

Tie guy.

A square, grainy, black and white photograph of an old-growth Live Oak tree next to a cave lot in one part of our Central Texas neighborhood. The trunk of the tree is in focus, while the canopy is a little blurry. It rises next to a berm that curves around it from right-to-left, with homes visible in the background. Many of its leaves have fallen and cover the foreground, while the sky is clear, the tree's shadow cast perfectly beneath.

Old Live Oak.
