Linda Dang, A Walk to Remember...

M.J. Ecker, a line runs through it
I’ve probably driven over and stepped on other similar manhole covers, but on this day, that yellow line dissecting the circle caught my eye.

Sapurah Lashari, Pennzoil Place, Downtown Houston
Deliberately designed as an optical illusion, Pennzoil Place's appearance will vary depending on the different locations from where it is viewed. It consists of two 36-story trapezoidal towers of dark bronze tinted glass connected by a 115 foot high glass enclosed courtyard.

Alex Luster, Welcome to the East End
I love where I live and I like to show it by documenting my surroundings. When taking this photo I thought about how change is inevitable and survival is key in life as it is in business . . . big or small.

Aaron Senseman, Arc and Texture

James Michael Carlen, Christmas on Gray
The blackness of night reveals a mystical look in contrast to the backdrop of Christmas. While growing up and seeing change all around, the sign at River Oaks Theater remained a constant.
