It always fascinates me when I do an image search on Azteca Theater and see how many different people have made images of the Azteca Theater and it's decorations.
Here are a couple from Thomas Hawk, http://www.flickr.com/photos/thomashawk/5495354751/
Ticket taker Maria in her Tower District Mardi Gras beads and Chinese hat. Nice treatment.

I can feel that blazing noon sun in this shot.
Here is a photograph by Elliott Johnson, it has an montage effect!

I can't tell what is reflection and what is montage, but for sure it is Maria in the ticket booth.
Here's a photograph by Richard George with super-real color:

Back when Maria had brown hair, she is a redhead now.
Patrick George caught Maria with a shaved head back in her experimental days http://www.patrickgeorgephoto.com/Urban-Scenes/Fresno/13458412_4h3qwg/985061620_xfWv6#!i=985061620&k=xfWv6&lb=1&s=L
