I got to shoot a Red Carpet event!

Yep, that was a first for me and I had such a great time. Thursdays Premiere Event was made to present NBC's Friday Night Lights opening show for Season 3. This show was featuring San Antonio's very own Gridiron Heroes which is a spinal cord injury foundation whose mission statement is to provide immediate, as well as, long term resources and support to individuals sustaining a catastrophic spinal cord injury through activities associated with high school football. The foundation is providing awareness and funding support for these great athletes and would be most appreciative of your donations. Please click on the link to share your support for their great cause.

Our very own local Fox & Hound pub hosted the pre and post VIP parties while the Red Carpet event and screening was at the fantastic Palladium theaters in the Rim. My night was surrounded by local and Hollywood celebrities, actual Grid Iron Heroes, major sports figures, producers, publishers, media and lots more!

Before I show you any of the photos I want to give some major thanks to Brandon Santiago of Mokeytoes Film Productions for inviting me to tag along with him to this event. And as for the photos that I took, none of them would be allowed for you to see if it weren't for the generous permission of Mr. Israel Sanchez of Learsi films. Words can not express how grateful I am to these guys for allowing me to have this experience .... y'all are the best!

Oh, and now for some of the images that I took that night! You might even recognize a few folks!
