Houston Cistern

Deceivingly Bright Entrance

West Wall View 

Sunday I joined the HCP on a field trip to a very historic place in Houston.  We were 17 photographers going into the old Houston Cistern.  We had an hour to photograph to our hearts content.  Well, in a cistern there is not a lot to see and you starting getting REAL creative, looking for something, anything, to photograph.  The staff was very organized, moving the group from wall to wall so that "people" were not in our captures.  We started out in awe!!  Then, as a photographer, you had to become more and more creative to get something besides columns and dark water.  Here are six photos as I progressed around the 4 walls.  First the entrance!
