Southwestern Photojournalism Conference

Jim, left, and Kat, right, wait in the courtyard of a fish and chips joint for lunch that includes fresh ...

... hushpuppies, vinegar and hot sauce to taste; butter for the less hardy souls.

Joe T. Garcia's

At Joe T. Garcia's in Fort Worth's Stockyard there are only two things on the menu — fajitas or enchiladas — and you can't lose on either. It's a little cool on the patio, but a Mariachi band heats up the night.

Billy Bob's

Biiled as the largest honky Tonk in the world, Billy Bob's is the perfect place to begin our pre-conference workshop for students. We are too late for dance lessons, but turn them loose on dancers on the floor.
