Now you may be wondering why I was attending a seminar on wedding photography, when I am not a photographer of weddings. Well, my thought process was that it was a seminar on photographing people.

On July 18, 2009, I participated in the 2nd Annual Worldwide Photowalk organized by Scott Kelby. I participated last year as well, but here I am presenting some of my photos from the 2009 walk. The gallery that I am using here is provided by PhotoSnack, and I will write a review of that a little later. In the meantime, enjoy the show.

This selection of photos were taken on June 25th, 2009 at Walt Disney World Florida’s Animal Kingdom theme park.

On June 24th, 2009, I journeyed a few miles south to visit McKee Botanical Garden. Some of the highlights of the garden include the World’s Largest Mahogany Table, a grove of Royal Palms, and a structure made of bamboo. In fact, according to materials at the garden, the bamboo hut was one of the first bamboo structures to require a building permit.
