As the sun set in Yellowstone we made one last frantic attempt to catch the sights in the long summer twilight. In this National Park, beautiful sights can be seen in any direction. But, as Houston roams with his camera, we are never certain just what he has captured until we are safe at home.

This image surprised everyone. Somehow between the pine trees, he captured the rising mist as it appears to be forming a “ghost tree.”

Houston is always surprising us and those around him. The dire predictions he received at birth have been blown away. He is able to do so much more than anyone anticipated.

In this image, the ghost tree is a perfect representation of things that are not always seen but are there all along.

Moyamoya Collection

For Houston Vandergriff there was no doubt his genesis NFT collection should be cloudscapes. “Cloud” defines who he is, or better yet, who he once was.

Multiple strokes in the fall of 2021 sent specialists into a flurry of diagnostic testing, frantically searching for a cause as the threat of another stroke loomed large. In the spring of 2022, Houston was diagnosed with Moyamoya syndrome. A major vessel in his brain was restricted, causing smaller vessels to form…like a cloud. Moyamoya is Japanese for “cloud.” It is a disease more common with Down syndrome and has possibly been there since birth.

During an 8-hour invasive brain surgery, a neurosurgeon built bypasses around the blocked artery. A true miracle of modern medicine. As his brain begins to heal it is evident that he is finally able to speak longer sentences, process more complex thoughts, and recall important facts that once slipped away.

The images in this collection were taken over a six-year period, most of them prior to his brain surgery. It appears he was primarily limited to being extreme “right-brained” since blood flow to the left side of his brain was nearly cut off.

As he has traveled around the country with his trusty Nikon camera he has recorded many images around the theme "puff of smoke" or clouds.

Now, here in his Genesis Collection, he shares them with you.
