JD and I found ourselves in Downtown Houston with a brand new camera, a fancy lens, and nothing to do on a Sunday afternoon. It was crazy hot-101 degrees at one point, but we weren’t really in the mood to head home. So we decided to hunt down David Adickes’ sculptures. JD got to play with our new 5D, and I had our handy little Sanyo flip camera. Here’s a little peek into a bit of our Sunday.

Oh, hey guys! This piece, called “Mount Rush Hour,” sits by the side of I-10 just outside of Downtown Houston. We saw this driving by a month or two ago and both freaked out. I’m glad we got to stop by and say hello.

I was compelled to shoot up their noses.

JD, doing what he does best. I think he was shooting up their noses, too.

We headed over to the studio warehouse and found the motherlode.

A few more important figures. Is it an artful commentary that they’re hollow on the inside?

Oh look, the Beatles. Please note the truck at the bottom for scale. These guys were my favorite, but unfortunately they were behind a fence. I was able to get this shot using a little technique I like to call, “sticking your hand inside the fence.” Fancy, right?

The eyes were kind of creepy.

I got a chance to get a really close shot of another nose. Alexander Hamilton’s, I think.

I didn’t just obsess over the noses, though. I really liked the tie textures, too.

I think we both had a good time. It was really nice being able to shoot together just for fun, and I know JD really enjoyed getting to spend some quality time with his new camera. I am going to have to dream up some more things that we can photograph together so we can do this more often. Until then, I will just leave you with a couple Beatles, as musical Godzillas:

PS-You can see these and more on my Flickr set for the day.
