third ward, Houston, txIf you're in Houston, on a Thursday, and have nothing to do, go to the Museum of Fine Arts and have a look at what this world class museum has to offer. This past Thursday, after an early exit from work, I had a good idea of what I was going to do. Little did I know, I would find inspiration from inner city high school students participating in an annual photography showcase. It reminded me of that old saying - "Don't judge a community by it's dreary, decrepit Welcoming Sign."
Eye on Third Ward is a collaboration between two seemingly opposite Houston landmarks - The Museum of Fine Arts Houston and Jack Yates Senior High School. In this collaboration, students of Jack Yates High showcase their photography to give museum-goers a firsthand look into the historic, unique area of Houston known as Third Ward, more commonly referred to as The Trae.
Below are some of my favorites from the exhibition and you can check out others from years past, here. If you are in or around Houston before May 25, 2009, I recommend you go and take a look (free on Thursdays).
