The North Texas Photography Explorers MeetUp Group met up at the White Rock dog park for some sunrise shooting and general photowalking last Saturday. It was cold, and I lost my mojo by about 7:30, and I tried a sort of experiment that largely failed, but I had a good time and ended up with 2 …

Dallas Zoo Photowalk
A new toy arrived on Friday and—quite coincidentally—Saturday was the Penguin Days at the Dallas Zoo Photowalk with the Dallas Photo Walk MeetUp Group. My first thought was to take the LX7 (with its 24-90mm zoom range) and the D7000 with the Vivitar 70-210 to have a nice range of coverage. Then I remembered I have about a …
Farmer’s Market Photowalk
The Dallas Photo Walk MeetUp Group (now defunct) met up at the Dallas Farmer’s Market yesterday.

West End Photowalk & Scavenger Hunt
Yesterday morning found me, once again, wandering around Downtown Dallas, alone, ostensibly as part of a Photowalk: this time a Scavenger Hunt with the North Texas Photography Explorers MeetUp Group. Good news: I didn’t have a full out panic attack and start frantically texting an old friend. Bad news: I had a constant, general, and …
