I can't remember the last time there was an eclipse in Houston. There's a faint memory from 1st grade of wearing a welding helmet outside, but I was too disoriented to even find the sun through the ultra dark glass. Monday didn't give Houstonians totality, but it was a sight to see none the less. My instagram today feed was full of pictures of homemade eclipse viewers fashioned from cereal boxes and tin foil, and ND filters stacked thicker and darker than a lens cap. To be honest, I wasn't even sure when it was supposed to happen. I was right in front of the library when it felt like someone pulled mini blinds over the sun. Unequipped to shoot the sun itself I tried to grab some portraits of people gazing upward in wonder, which at 1pm in August is a pretty rare sight around here.
