Photographer's Statement About Portrait of the City

With stills of fleeting moments, timeless towers, misty lakes, sun kissed cathedrals, interior arias, fantastic façades, familiar faces and future leaders, this exhibition honors local designers, artists, and tradesmen who are transforming the City into a special place, which breathes dignity and hope into daily life. The City created by these talented and dedicated professionals inspires every citizen, and resonates with every visitor as a community where a smile, a cheer, a handshake or a hand up are not hard to come by. This exhibit is dedicated to the designers and craftsmen, steel workers and stone cutters who have labored to make the mythological city know as Austin, Texas.
