"Beauty and tone...Do you see footprints?"

The news doesn't get any fresher than this announcement just a few hours ago...

Tamron USA announced today their first foray into "phototainment" with Season 1 of a video series designed to entertain while teaching valuable photo tips for all levels of photographers. Launched in conjunction with year two of their national Tailgate Tour to promote photography, the six-episode series captures the adventures of two photo road warriors as they make their way across the country, capturing some of the most beautiful photo vistas in the United States. The series features photographer and filmmaker André Costantini, and portrait and landscape photographer Ken Hubbard.

If there was an Oscar for educational videos in photography, these two would have my vote hands down. If you remember the old comedy series, they really are taking an "Odd Couple" approach to their travels and here's just one example...they're up at 4:45 in the morning to photograph Death Valley. They look like two ants as they hike up the dunes, only for Ken to be disappointed over all the footprints in the sand and André ecstatic over the contrast, looking beyond the slightly spoiled landscape. I love the conversation...

"Beauty and tone...do you see footprints?"

I've been sharing the schedule with you for the last few weeks and today is simply a kick to share more with this new video series. Just watch, trust me and then help me put them in for a Photo Industry Oscar! Even the conversation in while they're driving is going to put a smile on your face.

André and Ken, along with Tamron's tech team are on the road all over the country this year. The schedule through May is below. Watch the video, then check out the schedule and make it a point to not miss this team of amazing talent coming to a Tamron dealer near you.
