San Antonio prides itself on holiday lights. Some people don’t even take their Christmas lights down after the new year. They just flick a switch when the next Christmas rolls around to celebrate another season of holiday cheer.  

On Friday, Dec. 9, NOWCastSA was invited to be a part of the holiday lighting party at Avenida Guadalupe by offering to work with people who wanted to know more about shooting photos and videos with their cell phones or digital cameras.Below are some of the photos from those who showed up to our table, as well as some photos from our staff. We helped about 10 people in a short span, allowing them to use our digital cameras and Flip video cameras to walk around and learn how do great work with easy equipment.

Take a moment to play this video of the University of the Incarnate Word's annual Light the Way display. With permission, we've added lovely holiday music from the Andean group, Wayanay Inka, whose music has become part of San Antonio's soul. The NOWCastSA team filmed the light exhibit in 2009 and produced this magic virtual tour.
