It took long enough, but I finally got around to digitizing my slides from last August’s visit to the Dallas and Fort Worth zoos. As much as I love Mike’s Camera, they never actually sent me the scans when they processed these, nor after I told them I hadn’t received the scans and they saidContinue reading “OneRoll: Dallas and Fort Worth Zoos – Ektachrome E100”

Salem
Salem is an amazing bird. I love her. Not much else to write about this time. But hopefully this up-close encounter with one of the best birds in the world will make you as happy as it makes me.
Connecting Humans with Animals
When I visited the Dallas Zoo last year and partook in their Backstage Safari, there was a woman there with her mom, both of which were also from outside of Texas. It was really obvious from the start that the mom was just there to be with her daughter, she wasn’t a big animal person,Continue reading “Connecting Humans with Animals”
Thinking Outside the Fence
Just got back from a trip to Houston for work, and of course I found a way to sneak out to the zoo while I was there. I highlighted a story about their Jaguar over on the instagram, but this little cutie is the first story I wanted to share here. You don’t see aContinue reading “Thinking Outside the Fence”
Natural Camo
One of the normal tricks to impactful zoo photography is hiding the stuff that people are used to seeing, generally the man-made structures. Because of that, you don’t always get the full impact of the animal in its environment. Well here’s a shout out to the Fort Worth Zoo for this killer habitat, filled toContinue reading “Natural Camo”
Dallas Zoo Backstage Safari
I’ve talked a little bit in the past about Denver Zoo’s behind the scenes and up-close encounters. A lot of zoos do them, and last August I participated in Dallas Zoo’s Backstage Safari. If you are visiting the Dallas Zoo, it’s a must-do. If you live in the area, it’s a real easy gift forContinue reading “Dallas Zoo Backstage Safari”
The Joy of Events
It’s great having a good camera store in the neighborhood. Besides being there to develop all my film (e-6 developers, so hard to find!), Mike’s Camera puts on some really killer events. At their demo days, they partner with various companies to bring out tables full of gear: lenses, cameras, tripods, teleconverters, tens of thousandsContinue reading “The Joy of Events”
Battle of the Big
I’ve written before about the fact that the best big lens is the one you’ve got. Well, I just got a new one, and I wanted to talk about the comparisons now that there’s actually some ownership involved. I found a steal of a deal on a 400/2.8 on KEH. It’s the oldest version thatContinue reading “Battle of the Big”
Wake Me Up Later
I can relate heavily to this cutie right now. Having just returned from a five day vacation from work, time spent visiting the Dallas and Fort Worth zoos, I really do just want to pull something over my head and go back to sleep. Despite my recent acquisition of a 400/2.8, I still took theContinue reading “Wake Me Up Later”
