The Best Photo of Dallas ... Ever?

Fine. Perhaps that headline's a little too gassy with hyperbole. But it's been Unfair Park's pleasure -- nay, honor -- to run a few of Justin Terveen's photos in recent months. They're extraordinary -- like, oh, this one from New Year's Eve and this one of the skyline, which Brad...
