Off to the side of the Dallas Farmer’s Market is a store that I am very familiar with. It sits on a sharp corner and has a tin-roofed building and high rows of steel shelving outside. It’s a Mexican import extravaganza called Amigos Pottery. They have a factory in Mexico and produce a bewildering array of artwork and such – pottery, statuary, chimeneas, wall hangings, welded steel, fountains, and mixed combinations of all of these.
Long ago I bought a chimenea there – I’ve bought some planters, and we’ve purchased a bunch of decorative stuff over the years. Today, my friend and I wandered around with our cameras – shooting in the cramped aisles full of… all sorts of stuff.
Big digital SLRs always attract attention and a guy working there asked me for copies of my photos for his website.
I’ll send him an email as soon as I can find what I did with his business card.

Bill Chance 
these are great pictures. love the colors and motifs.
Thanks, I appreciate the comments.
I particularly like the rust colour stains on two of the statuettes
Thanks. One cool thing is that my photos don’t show that there are hundreds of the statues lined up – no two exactly alike. Closeups are the only photos possible because of the cramped quarters.
I love that place. I’ve bought my share of stuff from them, as well. I still have one piece, an odd terracotta urn with fruit that actually survived the fire. I should go back there…
Reblogged this on L'amore e forte come la morte.
