video tutorials in the near future | I need your help!

I try to keep things as fresh as possible here. I’ve been working really hard to add high quality, relevant content to the site for my readers and I think this is a good next step. Over the next few weeks or maybe months, I will be developing some online training videos for people interested in photography. I’m currently in the brainstorming phase of what videos to produce and what topics to expound on. I have a good idea of what I’d be interested in making, but what really matters is what interests you! So I am currently taking requests and recommendations for what videos to focus on. There are three main ways to cast your vote: Leave a comment below this post, send me an email to contact (at) jamesbrandon.cc, or you can send out a tweet that says something like this – @jamesdbrandon, I think you should create a tutorial for _______. I’ll tally up any votes I receive and use that to decide which videos to focus on first. Thanks in advance everyone!

The Historic Cowtown Coliseum in Fort Worth

Fort Worth is my home. I’ve been here all my life and the only time I want to leave is when I visit Hawaii. Despite the ridiculously hot weather, unreasonable humidity levels, and the occasional tornado, it’s actually quite a pleasant place to live. I live right between Fort Worth and Dallas, and on any given night if I have a choice, I’m going to Fort Worth. It’s just so much more laid back than Dallas. I could spend all day taking pictures in the Stock Yards, and all night hanging out at Sundance Square. Not that Dallas is bad, I just feel more uptight there, you know?

The image below is of the historic Cowtown Coliseum on East Exchange (the main street running through the stockyards). I’ve been there a few times over the years for the rodeo and even the occasional boxing matches they host. The whole area is rich in history and this place is no exception. It was built in 1907 and completed in 1908. The coliseum hosted the worlds first indoor rodeo, the first live rodeo broadcast, the first night time horse showing, and more. If you’re ever near Fort Worth, you’ve just got to come by the stock yards.
