This fortune teller has been in business for a long time. I'd wanted to photograph her shop when I lived in Santa Fe, New Mexico several years earlier, but wasn't able to because there were always a lot of cars parked in front of the building. I finally got it done during my trip to Santa Fe in the summer of 2011.
I've seen several businesses like this open and close in my hometown in Indiana, Fort Wayne, but they never lasted long. People in the midwest are just too down to Earth to believe in that sort of thing.
Sister Rosa's Palm Readings is right around the corner from a house on Camino Sierra Vista that I photographed a few minutes later.

All of my prints are available framed or unframed. I use black metal Neilsen & Bainbridge frames with white cotton unbuffered museum board for the mat and backing board for maximum archival protection. Photographs are printed on an Epson pigment printer using Epson's archival ultrachrome inset for long life.
