When it rains in Houston the whole city fills with water that has nowhere to go. The water seems to just hang around, until it eventually trickles down to the bayou or evaporates into the moist air. After a morning of reading about landscape photography, I decided it was time to get outside and make some images. The way that every pothole, nook, and cranny fills with water makes you feel as if the city is somehow turning itself inside out; all the trees and building are reflected in millions of little pools of water. The massive infrastructure of the city slowly worn away one puddle at a time. (I was thinking of Olafur Eliasson's photographs from his Cartographic Ceries when I assembled these images: http://www.olafureliasson.net/works/cartographic_III.html).
