ABOUT

Kevin Cassidy was born in 1946 and grew up in the suburbs around Detroit, Michigan.  He moved to Houston, Texas in 1966  to attend the University of St. Thomas.  He lives in Houston across the street from the Menil Collection Museum and the Rothko Chapel on the Menil Campus.  He has lived in the neighborhood for  over 30 years. The Rothko Chapel opened in 1971.  The Menil Collection museum in 1987.  The Cy Twombly Pavilion museum in 1995, and the Byzantine Fresco Chapel museum in 1997.  The Byzantine Fresco Chapel closed in March 2012.  Kevin was there for two of the openings as well as the Opening of the Menil Collection at the Grand Palais in Paris 1984.  Part of the intent of these blogs is to declare – in the form of my photo images – and share legacy memories from those times.

He attended many of the cultural events and art exhibitions hosted by  these  institutions  He is an amateur student of world history with special interests in the architecture, art, archaeology, museology, and military history.

In 1978, he photographed many of the temples and archaeology sites in  Egypt, Greece, and Israel.  He has continued reading and researching in those areas (as well as many others) since then and is planning blogs on many of the themes above.  Kevin Cassidy is computer consultant, website designer, blog developer, and ms office specialist living in Houston, Texas.
