The Meaning of Empty
These photos were captured at the end of October as Halloween approached. An Ice House decided to have a pumpkin carving contest. The owner (or manager) announced he would be judging the contest and would accept bribes to influence the outcome in cash or by credit card. This was at the West Alabama Ice House on Alabama Avenue in the Montrose district of Houston, Texas. In case you don’t know, an ice house is an open air bar where beer is served, usually from large tubs filled with ice. Next, I visited a Day of the Dead celebration. This is the traditional Mexican way of celebrating Halloween. There was an outdoor fair with food and other vendors. Indoors there were memorial shrines. The final two images are spooky because of their vast emptiness. Both were captured at the George R Brown Convention Center in downtown Houston, Texas. The walkway shot makes me dizzy. All of these were assisted by the low light magic of a Nikon D800 and 28mm f/1.8 G lens.
