Tulsa for the Day

Blog, Travel by James Pratt Leave a Comment on Tulsa for the Day

I went to Tulsa yesterday for an assignment with a client to photograph a local news anchor. I had to be in Tulsa at 8 am for the shoot. Afterwards I explored the area around what was formerly the Brady Arts District, then drove a few back roads home to Edmond. I always like to explore the back roads and byways of Oklahoma – or any place I visit. I stopped in Stroud at the famous Rock Cafe for lunch, made famous by the Disney movie “Cars”.

While waiting on my appointment I grabbed this shot of the Tulsa BoK Center at sunrise.
