Whole Foods Market has a shaded eating arbor around the front of their store. In keeping with the Sugar Land aesthetic, they have fountains on each end, next to the entrances.
This is the one on the north end. On hot summer days, birds congregate on the top of the fountain to wash and drink.

In winter 2006, Magid approached an officer on a New York City subway platform (“Officer F.”) and asked to be searched. He declined, because male officers are not allowed to search female passengers. Nevertheless, it was the beginning of a friendship between the two, which is documented in this installation.
Observing an apocalyptic view while heading home from work. And yes, it was still afternoon yet it looked like dusk. People needed to use their car headlights as well. It's like a volcanic eruption was happening here. Never in my life living here have I ever witnessed such a weather scenario like this... Certainly, this year's wildfire season is a historic one...

*Weather scenario: A historic outbreak of wildfires across NorCal left a massive layer of smoke draped over the SF Bay Area, turning skies Wednesday into an eerie dark orange haze & covering cars, yards & homes with layers of ash. Climate experts believe this is part of California’s ‘new normal.’ 2 million+ acres have burned so far in a series of wildfires with the Bear & Creek fires currently raging to the east of the Bay Area. Smoke from the blazes had covered Wednesday morning with a layer of darkness. While it may look like the world is coming to an end, the orange & dark skies maybe an ominous sign of what maybe in our future... The apocalyptic skies come after a record-breaking streak of Spare the Air alerts for the region, with Wednesday being a record 23rd consecutive day. People said it was like a solar eclipse, but longer, or the apocalypse, but less biblical. Some others called the darkness a metaphor for life in the days of global warming, of COVID-19, of social unrest, & of endless electioneering. Strange & foreboding it was & how long this would last was, like the sky, was unclear. For the 1st time ever, it felt like tomorrow’s sunrise no longer seemed a guarantee…

A camera slowly pans around a domestic living room as a series of unwelcome “guests” invade this private space, turning a tranquil interior into a scene of chaotic activity.
Here is the obligatory fountain picture from Colony Lakes Park.
It is evening and the shadow line falls right on the fountain.
A sign of the end times? It was so dark out that we had to use our car headlights and street lights were also on. It's like a volcanic eruption was occurring nearby. Never in my life living here have I ever witnessed such a weather scenario like this... Certainly, this year's wildfire season is a historic one... Pic taken from San Jose, CA.

In 2003, a Muslim cleric known as Abu Omar was abducted by C.I.A. agents in Italy and transported to Egypt for interrogation. Shown here are reproductions of the passports used by six of the agents during this operation, obtained indirectly from the hotels where they stayed.
The Colony Lakes subdivision is on the shores of a series of narrow lakes. They have put in trails along the sides and footbridges across them. People walk along them.
They have also installed a humber of fountains in the lakes, because that’s what they do in South Texas, now. This is sunnier version than the last one I did.

This is the primary fountain in the lake, where it is visible from the main road. That is also where they put the pier over the water.
