  2007 PPA Convention

  San Antonio Texas

  ---

  Well for those of you who thought I dropped off the face of the earth, NO, actually I have been freezing to death! We left on Sunday the 14th for Texas and arrived to freezing cold weather. Unbelievable! It was freezing and they had ice storms so of course everything was closed including the roads. So, my plans were completely ruined for my photo adventure! Normally I would have taken like 2 thousand pics but I ended up with only 450. One day it was 45 so we decided to venture out and here is what I caught. The first few are at the convention, it was pretty boring so I only put on what was cool. Then we headed down the River Walk and man is it ever beautiful! We also went to the Alamo which you will see pics from there. I used NO flash the entire time and really played with my setting which will be described on some of the pictures. I hope you enjoy. The last is my favorite and I will explain by the picture!

  FYI: I am officially a Coyote Girl...haha..we went to the bar Coyote Ugly to warm up and decided to hang for awhile. So we were dancing and they asked me to get up on the bar and dance with the girls, sooo of course I did! it was a blast, although i was scared outta my mind that i was gonna fall because of course i had on my 6 inch pradas! (i have video footage coming soon, i am still working on it)

  This is me when we were on our way to the convention

  

  This is a very cool dude we met, he use to be a big timer in North Carolina. Very nice to meet him!

  

  This is Bob Davis talking to a group of people, I got to meet his wife Dawn, she is super cool!

   

  This is the church outside our hotel, very cool!

  

  We went to a dueling Piano Bar. Very cool and lots of fun

   

  

  

  This is the River Walk. Pictures are unable to capture the beauty and romance of this place. I had NO idea how awesome it was. Too bad it was so cold and we were unable to really enjoy it!

  We stopped at a restaurant along the river to eat and it was getting very dark, so i propped up my camera and did like a 15 sec exposure to get the next few shots!
