Houston is a city like no other, where urban paradox lives comfortably next door to enigma, just down the street from spectacle. Unzoned subtropical seaport/spaceport, energy capital, architecture capital, rooted in multiple cultures (American, Old South, Texas, Hispanic, Asian), Houston has diversity for breakfast. Here now is Houston, sitting still long enough for a self-portrait by twenty-nine of its own photographers, a hundred telling moments which together lay bare and celebrate the complex soul of the city of surprises.
