Description

Photograph of a group of people at the Terlingua Chili Cook-Off. The group is dressed in clothing reminiscent of cavemen or prehistoric people in pop culture with clothes made from furs and cut into simplistic styles. Three couples stand next to one another while two boys kneel on the ground in front of them and a young woman sits with a little girl on her lap. Next to the young woman is a bottle in a cozy while behind her sits two large rocks. Behind the entire group of people is a tall board painted with volcanic scenery and a flying creature, possibly a pterodactyl. An upright armadillo statue sits to the right of the board, a fallen sign laying at its feet with the text "Lone Star", possibly followed by "Lava", written on it. To the left of the painted board is a table with a checker-patterned tablecloth and various objects on it. A sign on the table reads "Chris 00 Chili" and "Rebel Roulette". Behind the table stands a man with a button-decorated vest, short-sleeved shirt, pants, and a cowboy hat, who is manipulating an object behind the table's sign. To the left of the table is a small cooler. In the background a stone wall rises above the man and the costumed people, with two flags on its side that each have circles containing motifs on them. Across the top of the wall is a group of people in regular modern clothing, sitting on wall's edge or on a short wall that runs along the taller wall's top. A cut-out of the same winged creature from the painted board sits on the top of the wall in the right side of the photo.
