This statue by the renowned sculptor Glenna Goodacre sits at the entrance to Barton Springs, and depicts three of Austin's most influential mid-century writers, Roy Bedichek, J. Frank Dobie, and Walter Prescott Webb. Each afternoon, the three would meet at the rock at the edge of the pool and talk about everything. Goodacre presented them in their latter years, sagging skin, wrinkles and all. Webb did not swim and stood fully clothed beside the rock. I took this shot in 2011 with a Canon EOS 1N and EF 50mm f/1.4 on Kodak 400BW CN Pro film professionally developed and scanned to JPEGs on a CD. All three men's writings were greatly helpful in my education. I guess I was feeling philosophical this rainy afternoon.
