The Brazilian Arts Foundation Cultural Center says, “Thank you, Houston!” with the “Lights of Houston,” an interactive light painting art exhibit. Mauricio Campos, president and founder of the foundation, says “We are celebrating the transformation happening in the Buffalo Bayou by using light painting in several spots along the bayou, our way of thanking a city and community that has always supported us.” The talented husband-wife team Matt Crawford and Che Rickman photographed Brazilian dancers and capoeira practitioners at familiar Houston landmarks, using “light painting” to capture their energy and power. (Light painting is a photographic technique dating back to the late 1880s, basically capturing moving light in a still photograph.)
