Diary: Theresa. A Visit to Alcatraz. 1980
.
I first laid eyes on Theresa as she excited a cable car on a side street next to the Fairmount Hotel where I was staying in San Francisco on assignment in 1980. She walked directly towards me as I was standing on the sidewalk next to the hotel waiting for the concierge to have my car delivered from the garage on my way to a photo shoot. I said hello and she said hello back with a flirtatious smile. Low and behold she was an employee of the hotel as she motioned to open a side door I noticed for employees only . As she opened her purse to get her pass key, I commented that I was a guest at the hotel and mentioned how satisfied I was with the accommodations. She said she would pass the compliment on to management. We exchanged phone numbers. Later that day we met for drinks at Donatello, her favorite Italian restaurant just off of Union Square.

One thing quickly led to the next and so began a brief but romantic relationship. One of the highlights of our time together was a trip we took to Alcatraz Island where I captured this very beautiful moment with this Mexican beauty!
