Fredericksburg, VA Photowalk
When - March 9th - 3:00 till 6:00~
Where - Downtown Fredericksburg. See here for exact route (Green).
The green route should take us through differing parts of downtown Fredericksburg, by Carl’s (mmmh custard) and by the old mill on Caroline. The route might be too long but we’ll play it by ear. If the weather is bad we’ll just hang out at Hyperion. Meet there at 3.
Hope you can make it.

This past year, I told myself that I’d make every effort to attend the MacWorld Expo & Conference this year. As the event approached, I even thought I’d be able to pull it off. With my in-laws in northern California, it’s easy to pull SF related trips together.
Anyway, our NorCal trip had to be much earlier this year, so the opportunity came and went. Next year.
In the mean time, I’ve been made aware of one great opportunity for any attendees to MacWord, and any other Bay area photographers. On Friday, January 18th, a large group will be gathering to photowalk. Right now, in leiu of another location, they’re planning to meet at the Moscone Center, the location of MacWord.
So, if you’re in town for MacWorld, or want to attend another great photowalk in San Francisco, plan on attending this one!

Back on the 26th of December, 2007, several of us swarmed the Chinese Theater in Hollywood. It was a mighty cold day, and standing around for the last few stragglers started to get uncomfortable. The wind was blowing a bit, and I figure that effected how many photowalkers showed up.
We quite simply, took off from the Theater and headed east on Hollywood Blvd. for a several blocks and then crossed the street for the walk back. It was fun bouncing from group to group as we slowly moved down the sidewalk. Capturing the unique people was fun, but so was the standard urban landscape that is LA.
Here’s the list of photos at Flickr.
Here’s the list of photos at Zooomr.
Also, Bryan Villarin recapped this photowalk quite well. Below is the incomplete list of those who attended. I’m horrible with names, so help me fix it in the comments.

Well, because of an unscheduled trip to the west coast, I’m late writing up this recap of the December photowalk by the IndyFlickr group, on December 9.
The weather forecast was for rain and freezing temperatures, but that didn’t keep a small group of us from showing up on Monument Circle in downtown Indianapolis about 6 p.m. I showed up just in time to catch pjern taking shots for an HDR image of the Christmas tree on the Monument. I’m glad one of us thought of the possibilities of taking HDR shots, the fog made for some very dramatic shots.
After a few more minutes, the rest of us showed up, many with kids in tow. After all, this time of year Monument Circle downtown is a Christmas fairyland for little children, with the Indiana Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Monument decked out as a Christmas tree with almost 5000 lights, as well as 7 foot tall toy soldiers, candy canes and horse drawn carriages.
Many of us started out in the South Bend Chocolate Factory. After all, it was cold, foggy and drizzly, and they have probably the best hot chocolate in town. After warming up with hot chocolate, we headed back outside to start taking pictures. Paul was experimenting with creating custom bokeh patterns, the kids were running amuck playing tag with each other, and everyone had a pretty laid back time.
Despite the weather, a good time was had by everyone. If you’re interested in coming out for next month’s photowalk, we’d love to have you. As always, check out the IndyFlickr group for details, updates, and all the rest of the photos taken by this great bunch of people. Happy Holidays!

The IndyFlickr group is getting together this coming Sunday, Dec 9 at 6:00 pm on Monument Circle in downtown Indianapolis. This is a good opportunity to dust off your tripod and get some good shots of the Christmas lights and shopping around the downtown area.
The plan is to meet in front of the South Bend Chocolate Factory at 20 N Meridian St. It’s just to the right of this photo I took a couple of months ago looking south from the Monument.
So come on out, get some hot chocolate or coffee at the Chocolate Factory, drop your spouse off for some Christmas shopping (a hint: Roberts Camera is just a few blocks away) and spend some time photowalking with us.
As always, check out the IndyFlickr group discussion for any last minute changes.

Come join us just after Thanksgiving, on Sunday, 11/25/2007, as we photowalk beautiful old town Los Angeles. Olvera Street is traditionally considered the birthplace of Los Angeles. There is rich history contained within a short walk from this place in every direction.
We’ll meet at 2:00pm, at the end of Olvera Street, where it empties onto the large Plaza, or Placita. There’s a cross to mark the place, as seen in the photo above. The map below marks the spot with a camera, you can’t miss it. Here’s the Upcoming link.

You know, I’ve recently realized that we’ve got quite a few people trying to recruit some mighty photowalking armies, all over the world. So, I guess I should list them for you here.
Are you photowalking in another area? Then, add yourself in the comments. If you’re game, I can even help you organize and grow your events. Just let me know.

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.
