The Unofficial Field Guide - On the Road in L.A.

by Skip Cohen
​
The boyz are back on the road again, and they've caught up to another member of the Tamron Tech Team, Armando Flores, who lives in Los Angeles. Classic humor, great images and another short video snapshot of photographers on the road together.

I'll admit that knowing both Ken and Andre like I do, I get a real kick out of the humor of the two of them traveling around the country. However, if you haven't been by the Tamron booth at a convention or a dealer program and actually met them, you'll still enjoy the dryness of the humor. But, even better is the quality of the images they're sharing.

Here and there, you'll pick up a few tips on photography. For example, I love the two images below that Andre grabbed while standing under a couple of the overpasses of the freeway. He's in a location very few of us would even bother to stop, let alone get out of the car.

Heading down to Santa Monica pier, there's very little that beats a California sunset with the two images by Ken and Andre below. But my personal favorite and again, it's only because I know these guys, is the three of them sitting on the bumper of the van, continuing to search for the ultimate tamale.

Tamron once again is totally focused on the quality of this year's Mobile Learning Center. The tech team is on the road throughout the country with great hands-on workshops, each designed to help you raise the bar on your skill set and give you a chance to test drive Tamron's incredible lens line. Plus, there are four new prime lenses in the family for you to check out.

They're on the road in four cities in California for the rest of May. Each program runs from 10am - 5pm with the following schedule and no registration required - you just need to be there!
