10 on 10 (#9) | A Day in the Life of Rox

:
This month's 10 on 10 was a bit postponed.  I wanted to capture pictures on the 10th...they just didn't get posted on the 10th.  (Sorry Bloom girls.)  I spent four days in Kansas City with After Dark; it was quite an experience.

Before I headed out for the morning, I made sure everything was charged and ready to go.

We took a cab to get breakfast.  Yeah...I drove down, but the excitement of being at AD prohibited all brain cells from functioning and realizing I could get there without public transportation.  We intended to try Chez Elle, a creperie, with some other photographers, but it was closed.  Across the street was a great little bistro - Blue Bird Bistro.  I was able to have my favorite breakfast - steel cut oats with organic toppings...

...and locally roasted coffee, which was wonderful.

We opted to walk back the nearly one and a half miles back to the hotel, which is a great decision (by my emotions, but not my feet in new shoes).  We found some interesting backdrops along the way.

Back at AD, I visited the vendors.  The one most-frequented by me was Midwest Photo Exchange.  I finally invested in a RadioPopper transmitter and receiver, a monopod, gels for my flash, and this amazing strap from BlackRapid.  I have been wanting one for a while, and as soon as I tried on my friend's strap, I was hooked...and now my camera is.

We stayed at the Crown Center, which meant we were close to Union Station.  This is one view from there.

And this is a view going in to the restaurant for dinner.  Great food!

This was taken inside Union Station.  Later, I found out that it can cost $75 just to shoot in there.  Fortunately the security guards had no problem with us pulling out our cameras. 

It's fun photographing in another city.
