A Day in Dallas
In Dallas, there aren’t enough rooms where you’ll see a healthy mix of people interacting with different cultures. We’re stuck in our silos, where we’re comfortable. But what makes a city great is its people—them coming together, learning about one another, sharing ideas, collaborating. Photography can be a bridge. For A Day in Dallas, I teamed with D Magazine to give 20 different people disposable Kodak cameras. We asked them to shoot a roll of film over the course of 24 hours. You may know some of them, but many you won’t. They lead nonprofits in southern Dallas. They play for the Dallas Mavericks. They help arrange funeral services. They fled Syria. They produce music. They go to school. The disposable camera levels the field. This is a day in Dallas, blemishes and all, told through 20 different pairs of eyes. – Hance Taplin, founder of the fashion label By Way of Dallas, as told to Matt Goodman.

Aelicia Watson’s submission to D Magazine’s ‘A Day in Dallas’
From artists and socialites to civic leaders and athletes, D's Day in Dallas event pulled together more than 150 people from all different cultures to raise a glass.
On October 24, more than 150 attendees from all over Dallas came to The French Room Salon at The Adolphus Hotel to raise a glass to the “Day In Dallas” photo exhibit and the 20 participants. This “Day in Dallas” collaboration with Hance Taplin of By Way of Dallas featured the work of 20 Dallas residents from artists and socialites to civic leaders and athletes. They were asked to participate in a 24-hour challenge: document their ‘typical’ Dallas day from start to finish through the lens of a 35mm Kodak camera. Special thank thank you to our program sponsors—Downtown Dallas, Inc. and Photographique—and The Adolphus Hotel and Angel’s Envy.
