Houston Center for Photography

So Houston is definitely superior to San Antonio in this way - it has a Photography Museum. Not only a place to see cool photographs, but it has classes (be still my heart)! When I heard they were having a family day, I knew we had to go.

Set it in the sun to let it expose...

Then we set it in a liquid, then hung it to dry:


(Again, major distortion on Charlie's face. But see the papers behind him? So cool!)

And here's Charlie's final product:



I want to try that again sometime. I hear you can get the stuff at arts and crafts stores.
