In Volume Two of my Favorite Places to Photograph series, I'd like to share a location that MANY of us Fort Worth natives have visited, but not many people have really explored. Each time I photograph a new client at the Stockyards, I am surprised at the number of times I hear "wow! I didn't know this was here!" I'm not one to keep my secrets hidden, so I'm going to share all of my not-so-secret favorite spots in the Stockyards.

2. The Fort Worth Stockyards, Main Street and E. Exchange Ave, Fort Worth, Texas 76164

I usually have my clients park in the "Free Parking" area and we start photographing in the back of the Stockyards, behind all of the hustle and bustle of the popular tourist areas.

If my adventurous subjects are up for it, I try to take a walk down to the river, and get some shots on the rocks by the water in the little-known Saunder's Park. The great thing about this location, is that you can escape the "rustic" setting of the Stockyards without driving to another location.
