Advance praise for Making a Scene!
“I read your marvelous book, Making a Scene! I love it. It’s so beautifully and accurately done.”
“I was so excited to read it, I stood at my kitchen island eating garden salad reading through the chapters. It’s just so thrilling to have this piece of Houston photo history to re-live and reference.”
“I am astounded at the stories you tell. … it’s a book I can’t put down. Such wonderfully sweet, insightful, profound, and encompassing details, an epic narrative of photography in Houston.”
“What a great read! Even more so, knowing many of the people you were writing about and coming to really understand how Houston became our pride and joy for photography on an international scale. Thank you for clarifying all this, writing about Anne Tucker was fascinating, and more and more.”
Making a Scene! is the story of how visionary individuals created an international art world around photography. A classic Texas tale of seemingly quixotic ideas, audacious goals, oil booms and busts, generous philanthropists, southern sensibilities, grandiosity, and resolve, it is both as a document of what occurred and a recognition that passionate, committed individuals can make a difference in their communities and beyond. It is a story that can inspire others to think globally and optimistically about what they might be able to create. It is the story of how Houston became the place to be for photography.
