September 22, a small group of us from the IndyFlickr group got together for a photowalk through downtown Indianapolis. Five of us showed up, some with indulgent families in tow. We started out in the Mass Ave. district, an area with a lot of funky shops, art boutiques, restaurants and old architecture. In short, lots of fodder for the interested photowalker. We had a good assortment of DSLR’s, a point and shoot and a Nikon 35 mm film camera shooting away. The original plan was to get some good sunset shots looking west across downtown. For now I’ll just be posting links to photos that I took, when I get permission from my fellow photowalkers I’ll be posting some of theirs as well. Until then, check out the IndyFlickr group to see them.

We started out with feeding our collective craving for Cajun food with dinner at Yats, a small hole in the wall place with some of the best Cajun food available in Indianapolis. After that, we set out in the early evening. It took us about an hour to walk the first block. Get a group of photowalkers together and we’ll find lots of things to shoot. The weather was perfect, company was good, and we all had a good time, catching a few stares from passers-by, assuring them that no, we weren’t tourists.

After about 3 hours of slowly wandering through downtown, we ended up at Monument Circle right around sunset. Time to pull out the tripods and take some extended exposures. We haven’t decided where we’re going next month, but I’ll post information here when we do decide. Have any ideas, let us know.
