A look at the career of Christopher Paul Cardoza

If any local were to think about San Marcos photography, the first person to come to mind would surely be photographer Christopher Paul Cardoza, who has made it his mission to capture everyone in town and has likely gotten damn close.

Go back to Tejas. Go to your family and love them.”
