 Austin, Texas-based, advertising and editorial photographer Craig Washburn recently  was commissioned by Texas Monthly to shoot a portrait of the city of Houston for the magazine's 40th anniversary issue and special feature (February issue 2013).  Washburn's amazing views were captured from a helicopter over the Houston ship channel as sunset approached. See more about this project and others n his site, www.craigwashburn.com.
