April showers bring May flowers... or so that's what you thought. We've certainly seen our share of precipitation these last few months, but with things besides snowflakes and raindrops falling from the sky (Tenba bags filled with camera equipment for instance), make sure you look up every now and then. If you do, you'll be pleasantly surprised to find that beyond the Milky Way is some new content too. Eric is here to tell us that "tripods are sexy". Will & Kate are here to show us that something does get tweeted about more than Justin Bieber's haircut… we've got the PocketWizard units to prove it. And with that, the only question we have left to ask is, "how quickly can you get done with these photos?"
Last month we experienced a great loss in the photography world. Vincent Laforet remembers Tim Hetherington and Chris Hondros - we'll miss you too.
