RISE Photography outing at the Dallas Arboretum

RISE Photography sponsored a Photography outing at the Dallas Arboretum on Saturday June 20^th.The event was free to participants and their companions thanks to Dallas Arboretum. People participating had fun taking pictures, enjoying the flora, making friends and grabbing a bite to eat at the end of the day.

You may ask your self is this place accessible? Yes. If you know anything about Stephanie Bowerman and Paul Gray, they do their homework. Yes there are some paths with steps, but there is always a winding paved trail that leads to the same place. Then you have people like Steve Carlson who decided to wheelie his chair down a stepped pathway. He is still here to talk about it.

The Photography outing was actually scheduled about two months earlier but had been rained out. The temperature on the day of the shoot was in the mid 90’s with not much of breeze. Despite that, people who went had a good time and have pictures to prove it.

The next photo shoot will be held sometime in October for the fall flower displays, keep an eye open for it in upcoming emails. The temps will be little warm so bring a cold water bottle. Other supplies to bring if you are heading out to the Dallas Arboretum whether with the RISE group or on your own include: extra batteries or film, a small tripod, hat, some snacks and comfortable shoes.
