Las pocas fotos que tengo de mis congas, estan incluidas en este album y la fecha en que fueron tomadas.

Dow Jones Headed For Worst April Since the Great Depression

The Wall Street Journal's front page today reads: Dow Jones headed for worst April since the Great Depression. 

$1.4 trillion was just wiped from the Stock Market today. Trump approval rating falls to 42%, lowest since taking office. When it comes to the economy, only 37% of Americans approve. They must be so tired of winning.

No Tripods Allowed

One of the best gadgets in my photography toolbox for my photo-walks is something called a Platypod. It is the world's most compact tripod base.

Years ago, I remember traveling to Washington DC to photograph the Capitol Building at sunset. I was shocked when a security officer informed me that tripods are banned. I also encounter the same situation on top of the Rockefeller Center observatory in NYC. 

Even though it is a hassle, I used to carry my tripod on my motorcycle rides all the time. Now I use a Platypod. In my opinion, Platypod is a game changer for travel photography. No need to carry heavy tripods. It is all about traveling light and having fun. Check it out, it is a great tool.
