This is Ft. Griffin Flat known as “The Toughest Town in Texas” and described as “one of the wildest… gambling hellholes ever spawned on the frontier”.

This town has a very illustrious past. The town of Fort Griffin, was known as “The Flat” and in the 1870s was infamous for “having a man for breakfast every morning”. The frontier town located below a bluff where a frontier fort sits from the Texas – Indian Wars. Wyatt Earp, Doc Holliday, Billy the Kid, Sheriff Pat Garrett and Bat Masterson roamed these streets.

Thanks guys! I'd shot here once before, about a year ago, but it was on the full moon and I wasn't quite happy with what I came away with from the outside shots. So I'd been wanting to return.

Really nice, Todd. I just love that sky, and all over a proper cowboy town like the movies :)

Very nice shots Todd. I checked out your web site, like your work. I really like how the old shrimp boat that was in Biloxi turned out.

First is my favourite, it's just so balanced. Do you use any supplementary lighting for these shots?


Canon 80D and kit zooms. Also 50mm 1.8 and 10-16mm.
