Antique

Usually you can't find me in an antique store, however a fieldtrip was scheduled to this place. Somehow I had a hard time finding a good shot. I still think most of the stuff is junk, which made it difficult for me to find a good shot.

100th view

I put some of my photos on my page on Flickr. When I log on I can track the number number of views for each photo. Today, for the first time, a photo had more than 100 views.



It paid off to get up before sunset and to wait in the near freezing temperaturures until the lighting was right.

Houston - Market Square

Houston was founded on August 30, 1836, by the Allen brothers. In 2011, the Greater Houston Preservation Alliance scheduled their monthly walking tours to celebrate the 175 anniversary.

Today's walking tour headed for the former Market Square. Today it is a nice city square with a coffeehouse.

It was an overcast day, therefore I brought along my 50mm f/1.8 lens. As a result I can't show you any wide angle architecture photos. Considering the low light conditions the photos worked out relatively well.



This building along Main Street, has a large deteriorated neon sign dating back to the 50s. However this sign covers an even older architecture. The question is which one to keep.
