San Antonio Art
The Alamo had always loomed large in my memory, a storied place I last visited when I was ten years old. Back then, it felt monumental, standing as a solitary relic of Texas history. I decided it was time to revisit the iconic site and see how it had changed in the years since. When I arrived in San Antonio, I was immediately struck by how different the area around The Alamo looked. The historic mission sat nestled amid the city's Riverwalk area, with a shopping mall encroaching on its sacred aura.
Determined to capture its timeless beauty, I arrived as the evening settled in. My plan was to photograph The Alamo at night when the crowds would (hopefully) thin and the floodlights would highlight its rugged stone facade. However, patience would prove to be my greatest ally. Tourists swarmed the area, many angling for the perfect selfie in front of the shrine. The juxtaposition of their smartphones against the ancient stone walls was almost poetic, but not the kind of poetry I was looking to photograph.
I scoped out the best angle, framing the iconic front arch against the darkening sky. Every few moments, a new group would step into my shot. The minutes ticked by, and I realized this would be a test of endurance. My tripod was set, the camera dialed in, and all that remained was for me to wait.
While I waited, I marveled at the structure itself. The Alamo, originally built in the 18th century as Mission San Antonio de Valero, had witnessed the fight for Texas independence in 1836. Its walls, scarred by time and conflict, stood as a silent testament to the bravery of the defenders who had made their last stand here. Even surrounded by the glow of nearby businesses, The Alamo exuded a sense of reverence and permanence.
Finally, the moment came. The square emptied for a fleeting few seconds, and I took the shot. The floodlights illuminated every curve and detail of the limestone, casting long shadows that lent the scene an almost ethereal quality. The dark night sky provided the perfect backdrop, making The Alamo seem even more imposing.
As I reviewed the photo on my camera screen, I felt a wave of satisfaction. Capturing The Alamo without the intrusion of modernity had been a challenge, but the result was worth every second of waiting. In that moment, I felt connected to both the past and the present—a witness to the enduring legacy of one of Texas’s most sacred landmarks. It wasn’t just a photograph; it was a reminder of how history and progress coexist, often uneasily, in the same space.
