This One Dream I Had, Plate IV
Taken during a weekend meetup with Thomas Hawk in my hometown of Houston.
I’m a huge fan of the impressionism movement in the painting realm of the art world and have been searching for a way to incorporate its particular aesthetic into photography.
About a year ago, I decided to pick up a concept project that I thought about starting years ago. Dreamweaver is a series of photographs that depict characters one may encounter in a dream.
Every story needs a hero.

Brisket, Cornbread, and Sweet Tater Pie
Taken during a weekend meetup with Thomas Hawk in my hometown of Houston.
Sometimes all you need to be at home is some brisket and cornbread. TH and I stopped by here for dinner after finding every other BBQ place closed or out of beef.

Faeries and Grimoires

Thomas Hawk and I stopped by for lunch in Niko Niko’s, a fantastic little Greek restaurant in the Neartown district of Houston. Afterwards, we stopped by The Magick Cauldron, Houston’s self-proclaimed “premier Pagan religious supplier”. We didn’t stay long as “these kind of places creep [TH] out”.

Reflections of Joy
Taken during a weekend meetup with Thomas Hawk in my hometown of Houston.
Thomas Hawk and I found this gentleman waiting for a bus in downtown Houston. (Yes there is some amount of public transportation in Houston.) He took an interest in what we were doing and gladly allowed us to take a couple portraits of him.

When the Light Leaves My Eyes
Taken during a weekend meetup with Thomas Hawk in my hometown of Houston.
Featured in the photograph above is an installation called “Red” that is part of an installation by University of Texas at Austin art professor Margo Sawyer. The four-piece ensemble is called “Synchronicity of Color” and features many boxes of color. The two largest pieces of the ensemble (including “Red”) are found on the Discovery Green in Downtown Houston flanking the two underground parking garage access staircases.

A Quick Escape
I’m going to try to churn out the photographs I made during the weekend photowalk around Houston with Thomas Hawk last summer while my D40 is out for repairs.
This particular photograph was made from the roof of a quirky dollar store in the center of downtown Houston.

To Walk Amongst the Living Once More
Taken during a weekend meetup with Thomas Hawk in my hometown of Houston.
As I mentioned in my last post, the red channel of my beloved Nikon D40 died out. Fortunately, however, my extended warranty covered it and I should have Dominique back in my hands in a couple weeks.
