TEXAS DIVES: ENDURING NEIGHBORHOOD BARS OF THE LONE STAR STATE
By Anthony Head (author) and Kirk Weddle (photographer)
Dive bars are a reminder that life is not limited to the pressures and profits of the 9-to-5 world. A true dive earns its status through age and patron loyalty, so while dives are outposts from much of society, they're typically stable businesses and often active in their neighborhoods. Dives are also gathering places, where the members, lubricated by affordable beer and long pours of whisky, solve the world's problems on a regular basis. In Texas Dives: Enduring Neighborhood Bars of the Lone Star State, veteran writer Anthony Head and internationally recognized photographer Kirk Weddle visit twelve bars in twelve Texas cities. With pithy text and revealing images, they tell the stories of some of these off-the-radar hangouts of Americana, shining light on the bars and their owners, staffs, and regulars.
Kirk Weddle is a photographer who specializes in creating enticing images on-location, in-studio and underwater. He is best known for the infamous Nirvana Nevermind album cover and his underwater photography featuring underwater images of Kurt Cobain and Dave Grohl.
