ONLY IN TEXAS
My image "Only in Houston: We ALL Come to the Party!" is on exhibit in the Texas Photographic Society’s exhibition “FotoTexas III: People, Places & Culture” at The Museum of the Big Bend, Alpine, Texas. The exhibition runs from June 21 - August 31, 2024. https://www.museumofthebigbend.com

Heidi Notes:
When juror E. Dan Klepper requested that images for entry not be the classic photos one might associate with Texas, I was ready.
Quirky? Unexpected? Here you go:
"Beatles and Presidential Heads were discovered hanging out in the parking lot of sculptor David Adickes and Nance St Studios. They’re ready to entertain and be celebrated...but who knows where they'll go?"
(Houston, TX 2014)
The 36 foot, 4-ton Beatles went to downtown Houston in 2017 to entertain at the 8th Wonder Brewery, but I've heard they're back in the storage lot on Nance Street again. The massive 18 foot heads also.
Asking price for Beatles in 2017 was $350,000. Interested?
*** Notice the scale of all compared to the yellow machine on the right. Yes, everything IS bigger in Texas.
The Details:
5" x 7" archival digital artist print, museum matted & framed to 16” x 16” x1"
