The weather today was not as omnious as it looks in the picture. The dark of the picture is due to me bumping the film speed setting a little faster than it should have been. It was really nice when I took this picture even though it was a bit on the humid side. But I will put up with summer’s heat and humidity for the opportunity not to have to deal with snow and ice in the winter. This is one of the reasons why I’m a damn yankee.

Today I took the Polaroid blue film for a walk in downtown Houston. It was a really pretty day and I just wanted to get out of the office. I actually went to find the Virtuoso art piece, but I forgot to look online before I left the office and I couldn’t remember where it was. Instead I roamed all over downtown just looking. I was heading back to work when I found a view I actually liked.

I will say one thing about shooting film again. You become very choosy about what you shoot and it’s translating back to my digital work.

I think downtown Houston has one of the prettiest skylines day or night. I especially love the light in the late afternoon right now. I get off work and watch the light play off the buildings around me.

When I was walking down Milam this afternoon, I noticed the reflection above.

Houston City Hall. Houston has one of the coolest city halls I’ve ever seen. It’s a really lovely art deco building made out of limestone. It’s one of my favorite places to go, especially on Wednesday when the Farmer’s Market is there (They’re taking a break until February 2 at the City Hall Market. The new hours will be from 11-2.).

I miss my Wednesday Market and the hustle and bustle it brings to the downtown area.

The barricades and scaffolding outside the El Paso Building caught my attention yesterday while I was walking to the bus. I took this picture this afternoon on my way home.
