Flash Drive – Mobile photography education unit
Houston Center for Photography enlisted us to brand and rework an existing ambulance into a mobile educational outreach unit whose mission is "to inspire and heal through the merger of arts and health". It includes two camera obscuras built into the side of the vehicle, a digital editing suite, projector, high def screens, and bluetooth networking devices. The Flash Drive rolled out in the 2014 ArtCar Parade. Go visit HCP today and see the Flash Drive. Visit HCP
