After a long week with lots of shooting for the Observer, I wasn't totally thrilled at the idea of getting up early on Saturday for another one. The fact that it was a high school reunion, and not even my high school, didn't get me any more enthused.

But I was dead wrong -- following the parade on its short route to the school, and talking to old Woodrow alums along the way, made for one of the most fun shoots I've had yet in Dallas. There was a great small-town feel around the Lakewood neighborhood school, and best of all, this was my neighborhood.
