Photo Walk Update | Monday News

CATEGORIES: Living In Layers | RC | August 24, 2008

I had an amazing weekend hanging out with everyone at the Scott Kelby Worldwide Photo Walk. I spent the morning in Dunedin, FL with Scott’s group shooting and hanging out. After a quick shower, I was back out in the field, hanging out with my group in Clearwater. On both occasions there was rain, but not enough to scare away the die hard photographers that were with us. It was really nice to see a great mixture of cameras out there. Point and shoots were represented, as well as iPhones and Canon/Nikon SLRs. I even saw some other camera phones being used. THAT’S the spirit of the Photo Walk!

Congrats to everyone that came - it was great to make another set of friends behind the lens. We’re going to have to do that again at some point soon.
