In April 2010 Dennis Fast participated in the bi-annual Images for Conservation Fund Pro-Tour competition to help promote the conservation of wildlife habitat on private lands in Texas. Twenty photographers from 5 countries were invited to spend a month on separate ranches attempting to photograph as much of the wildlife on each ranch as possible. The resulting images will then be used to produce a coffee-table book designed to showcase the beauty and variety of Texas wildlife. Dennis will share his experiences and photos from the two competitions in which he has participated. He promises you won’t want to miss the flowers, snakes, animals and insects (but no polar bears) that constitute the abundant diversity of southern Texas. He might even throw in a few bird photos!
