ATT Bldg; they just don't
make them like this anymore.

Korean War Memorial

After a traffic-filled drive downtown, right in with the rush hour flow headed to San Antonio, I parked at the hotel and put on two jackets.  I know I was making fun of the locals wearing winter coats yesterday in 70 degree weather, but this morning it was in the low 50's with a stiff wind blowing, and I was feeling the effects.

I walked from 7 to 7:30 this morning around the hotel area, knowing that we were boarding a bus at 8:30, and were not likely to get done until around 10:00 this evening. After my walk, I had breakfast at the hotel.

Public Art Project

I'm so glad I did my walk early, because now I am sitting in a Whataburger, typing furiously to get this blog done, while eating fries. They do not have wi-fi connections, so posting this will have to wait until I get back to Lauren's house tonight.

The Sheriff of Enchanted Springs Ranch

This morning we went to the Enchanted Springs Ranch, where we worked on the principles we were taught last night, using the speed flashes with models dressed in Western gear.  The ranch was built for a movie set, and it has become a family attraction with shows like gunfights on the weekends.

I have included one of the shots from this morning.  This afternoon, we're going to Mission San Jose for more shoots, with brides.  So far, I am learning a ton and having great fun!
