Texas Highways Cover Featuring
Key To The Houston Water Wall, 2012
Texas in Wonderland
By Kimya Kavehkar
Mabry Campbell wants you to feel challenged when you look at his photographs. Maybe lost, maybe a little bit small. And after you’re done feeling those things, a sense of wonder.
The Houston-based photographer’s images are simple upon first glance—stark, clean, and black-and-white. Simplicity, in this case, is a clever mask for complexity. In Campbell’s photos, incongruent shapes clash, then seamlessly blend; details abstract larger forms; and light and shadow make the buildings and landscapes you pass by every day remarkable. Viewers might not know what they’re looking at right away, but more time spent with the pictures reveals familiar places rendered in unfamiliar ways.

Campbell first became interested in photography on a fishing boat in Port Aransas. While attending the University of Texas at Austin in the mid-1990s, he would guide fishing trips on weekends for some extra money. With hand-me-down cameras, he started capturing the Gulf of Mexico and the fish in it. “That’s when I started really taking photos with some intention behind them,” he says.
