For the past 60 years, Earlie Hudnall, Jr., has
created portraits in his Houston community. “There’s no place like one’s own
backyard,” he said. In Music Boy,
Hudnall focused his lens on one of the shorter members of a Houston band. Small
but mighty, this musician handles his trombone and oversized hat without
missing a beat.
