Took a trip to the San Antonio Zoo Saturday.

Kenny D. says.., Saturday February 21st, 2009, I took a trip to the San Antonio Zoo where I met up with a couple other photographers. I've lived in the San Antonio area since June 2006 and this was my first time going to the San Antonio Zoo. The day started out overcast and cool with almost no wind. While we were there a front blew in and gave us a little bit of rain. Fortunately there were plenty of things to photograph inside out of the rain. Here are some images from the trip. You can see more of the images I captured at this gallery on my website.

Bandera Cowboy Mardi Gras Parade

Kenny D. says.., Hey gang! I photographed the Cowboy Mardi Gras Parade yesterday held in Bandera, TX, Cowboy Capital of the World. It was great weather for a parade and excellent conditions for photography.

After covering the parade, I went to over to Bandera High School where a softball game was in progress.

After the parade, this band performed at the 11th Street Cowboy Bar.

Are you getting the most out of your Pocket Wizards?

Kenny D. says.., I have this love/hate relationship with Pocket Wizards. I love the versatility they provide and hate the price. Fortunately; There is little that can go wrong with them and for most pratical purposes they are 100% reliable.
If you have a set of these little jewels, it is important to know how to get the most out of them. Here's a video to let you know a little about what can be done with these wireless triggering devices.
I happen to think Pocket Wizards are one of those things that belong in every serious photograpers kit. If not now, then at some time in the future.
