Photographer Peter Brown, and Joe Holley, a journalist known for his column, “Native Texan”, in the Houston Chronicle, recently collaborated on a book entitled Hometown Texas. When Texas was admitted to the American Union, as journalist Joe Holley recounts, Congress authorized it to form “new States of convenient size, not exceeding four in number and in addition to the said State of Texas.” Texas is therefore a perfect subject matter for both photographer and journalist. The book explores the land and people of this vast state of Texas: East, West, North, South and Central. They illustrate here through stories and pictures, the place that shapes a person that defines them as Texans. An exhibition is also currently on view at PDNB Gallery, in Houston.
