Capturing Change at 3400 Montrose Boulevard, Houston, TX

The more things change . . .

Houston.  The place I wasn’t sure I wanted to move to with my family a mere eight years ago.  Yes, Houston.  The place that is now the top– or one of the top–destinations in the country for visitors.

Barely had I fallen in love with Houston, before the world caught on. Now, so much is changing about this city so quickly that it’s often hard to keep up.

The more they stay the same?

I’m grateful that I was able to capture on camera one brief episode of that change as it happened in 2014.

I’ve written about it here; I wanted in this post to share a few more of the ways in which my camera was able to preserve the beauty of change in the making.

Even as I write this, a crane of a different sort is hoisting steel into the sky, creating a new edifice to fill the space that the building in these photos surrendered.

Beauty, Even in Destruction

I’d like to think that the photos above acknowledge that even in desolation–yes, even in demolition and deconstruction–beauty can abound.

I hope you enjoy viewing these photos as much as I enjoyed taking them.  (For an up-close view, just click on each one individually.)
