The End of Houston. //sabotai's last houston thread

This is to be my last Houston photo thread, since I'm moving next week. My girlfriend and I are moving to New York after a two month layover in Providence, so expect some very different stuff from me in the next few months. Houston has been a very interesting place to live, but I'm not sad to go. I will surely miss Galveston, Montrose, as well as delicious Mexican food and barbecue that will be much more difficult to find up north.

btw, these were taken with my new D90(sold all my Pentax gear), so it's taken some time to get used to the camera and Nikon images. Sorry if some of these aren't up to spec!

update: more pics on page 2

I've been telling people in Austin that Houston is getting weirder than Austin. Austinites hate to hear that!

Great photos of people. Best of luck in your new location!

You're leaving??? Shoot! Even though I've never met you in person it's not going to be the same with you gone...I'm going to miss seeing your take on the Hood in my contacts on flickr. And your future shots of NYC are just going to leave me envious! Good luck and have a great time!

BTW, great use of skewed angles in these shots.

Some really nice people shots in there. Good luck with the move and with the D90, looks like a nice camera (If I were to upgrade my D50 I would probably go with that one).
