Sometimes reality photobombs your perfect pictures. This is what happened as I was trying to capture all the musicians in this mural of country music legends.

I saw the man in the white shirt enter my frame and lean in a trashcan. I waited. I thought he was barfing up beer at first, but then he moved to the next can and reached in.

I think the city is attempting to keep a balance between tourist traffic and a homeless population.

There were homeless mixed in with the crowds on the sidewalks. Many were  carrying bags and folded cardboard signs under their arms. They would come in the souvenier stores to buy drinks and snacks with cash. I observed some homeless drama out the window of the hopping Luke Bryan bar one hot night.

Story will follow.

Once you see them, you can’t not see them.
