    No Ben, it's an art gallery/foundry just outside of town. I was there for a Texas Vietnam Veterans Memorial statue ground breaking ceremony Monday.

    If possible, I would have moved more to the right so the mans face would be right smack dab against her ... you know what. Not in a perverted sense. But in a funny zany street photography sense.

    Cool shot. Very unexpected. Begs the question... "USA?" rolleyes1.gifRailroad ties say yes or maybe Canada.
    But I see its Texas. Well done. Only way we'd have something like that up here is on private property
    and a 10 foot fence all the way around and covered by city code.

    Well, I did wait a bit on the hopes a shot would produce itself...

    This was on private property at a foundry/gallery. I was asked to shoot the dedication ceremony for the Texas Vietnam Veterans Memorial and these were at the end of the afternoon. The memorial is being cast and will contain reproduction dogtags of all 3417 Texas residents who died in Vietnam. At this time, 105 are still MIA. In addition to shooting the event, I was part of the group that transported the dogtags to the foundry, riding in an M35A2 gun truck with a V100 and M1009 following. The full gallery is HERE if you are interested. As I mentioned in the gallery, this was a pretty somber event when you realized those 3417 dogtags each represented a person who didn't return. As one of the speakers said, THIS was their homecoming.
