This year IFAJ and AMS brought an all-day photography school to the conference. The photography school was taught by Michael Schwarz of the Blue Pixel Group. We started the day off at the historical Fort Worth Stockyards, where we were free to roam the grounds and take pictures that inspired us. Our assignment was to capture old time Texas and anything that would represent that. Participants shot photos of everything from long horns to cowboy hats. At 11:30 the daily cattle drive was taken through the main street of the Stockyard and was a great photo opportunity for us as well as something new to see.
After the cattle drive we headed back to the hotel for the critique session. Each participant picked out their favorite 5 pictures and as a group we reviewed all of them to share our thoughts. The best 50 were chosen and we made our own storytelling slide show of our days adventure. Apart from being a little hot the day was a fun filled learning experience.
