After a week back in LA, I flew back to Houston to continue my eastward travels, first spending a few more days hanging with the locals that I had met.

I spent some time sampling beers at Flying Saucer “Draught Emporium” in downtown Houston and was lucky enough to check out The Big Easy, a dive of a jazz club with a fun-loving, energetic crowd. The interesting thing about that night was the seemingly mismatched couples that I found dancing together there.

I also went back to the Last Concert Cafe where some glow stick dancers joined the drum circle. While I was there, I played around with some low light shots in the seedy surrounding area. The street lights gave the scene a great feel; “urban etherial” as a friend put it.
