Photowalking.org

I know this is last minute. I’ve discussed the possibility of an indoor, studio lighting based event on the Flickr forums for a few weeks. I just now secured a location and so I’m going to go ahead and try to make this happen.

The location details are at the Upcoming page for this event. We’ll meet at the Ventura County Sheriff’s Department, East County Station, at 1:30pm, this Saturday, April 26th, 2008. If you think you can make it, please try. I’d love to have more than a handful of people.

We’ll all bring any lighting gear we have. The goal is to have us all set up our “studios” around the room and practice shooting. I’m going to try and get a couple of volunteer “models” to help keep everyone busy. The real learning will come when we can help each other learn a bit more.

Even if you can’t attend, please spread the word to anyone in our area!

As most of my regular readers know, I’m always trying to recruit new authors here at PhotoWalking.org. This past year we’ve heard from a variety of authors. Each one is working hard to keep us informed about the photowalks they’re helping organize in their own local areas.

Many of the photowalks, however, don’t just use PhotoWalking.org to help communicate the details. Based on my recomendation, most also use Upcoming.org and our Flickr group. Most also have their own Flickr group too.

However, photowalking has taken off so much that there are groups forming all around the world, many who have not even heard of PhotoWalking.org. That’s not a problem for me. I’m just excited that more people are out photowalking. Of course, there are many who are photowalking, and they don’t even realize it. Photowalking isn’t new. People have been doing it as long as we’ve been able to drag our camera around with us.

On occaision, I wander around the internets, searching for anyone else who might be interested in using our little community to help get the word out for their own events. Today I compiled a small list of upcoming events that could easily be announced and followed right here. Below is that small list…

It’s only a couple of days from the London Photowalk now - so all of you in the watch list had better get yourselves into the attend list!

Here’s a provisional map for the walk - although it might change if we go to quick or slowly. There should be enough photo fodder in the just over 3 mile route - and there are plenty of places to stop and get food and drink if we need to.

Those of you on the Upcoming attend/watch list will get my mobile number (or you can add me on Facebook to see it) however I miss you out please message me on any of my profiles anywhere (Zooomr, Flickr, Facebook, Upcoming) and I’ll get it even while I’m there as I have internet on my phone (even though it’s not an iPhone :P)

The current weather forecast is 7 degrees and sunny should that help your attire!

Hi everyone - it’s coming up to just about a week until the London Photowalk. The meet up has been designated at the Blackfriar pub (as Blackfriars is quite simple to get to by train and by Tube) from there we can easily get to the city, the South Bank, Law land, theatre land etc. I’ll be in there from one grabbing a pint / some food - don’t want to be to wonky shooting - and then probably set of at two-ish giving a couple of hours of light, a sunset and then a bit of night shooting.

All abilities, ages, cameras and style welcome. I’m sure we’ll all learn something from each other so please feel free to add yourself to the UpComing list (or move from Watch to Attend )

I look forward to meeting you all!

Hi everyone - sorry for being so slow in getting this together.

I’ve made a Google Map of some the possible routes for us to go - which would you like to do first? Or is there anywhere else that takes your fancy?

Also I’ll proably be mooching tips from you all as I now have an SLR! (EOS 400D)
