Worldwide Photo Walk - anybody participating?

September 22nd, 2015
Two weeks ago Jackie Edwards (@jackie365) posted about Scott Kelby's upcoming Worldwide Photo Walks ( http://365project.org/discuss/general/26251/worldwide-photo-walk). After some pondering, I decided to join a walk here in the St.Louis area.

Photography has generally been a solitary experience for me, getting together with a couple-dozen other photographers will be a step outside of my comfort zone. But hopefully a grand experience!

I was wondering if others from 365project will be doing walks in you areas? Looks like at least 3 or 4 from the earlier post...

Any thought of posting photos here, with a common TAG? Maybe wwpw15?

I think I mentioned in the previous thread that I am leading a WWPW in Hillsboro, Oregon.

I should've included a link to the photowalk site: http://kelbyone.com/photowalk/

I know that @californialover is leading a walk in the LA area, right Ute?

The closest one to me is 3 hours away, so I won't be walking.

@vera365 yes, Vera. It will be my first time leading a walk and I'm really excited. During the past years I have participated in walks in the Detroit area. The location of my walk this year will be Palos Verdes, the little peninsula 40 min South of LA.

I'm walking and will undoubtedly post some photos. I would use the wwpw15 tag.

@lsquared Signed up last night...believe we may be on the same walk.

@lsquared Are you going to the photo walk in Alton? I was thinking of attending that one, since it also gives me an opportunity to see my girls, who live there.

@melpitts @melston Cool!
Yes Marci, I'm on the Alton walk. I was looking at Alton & Grafton. At the time Alton had more people signed up, and I would drive through Alton to get to Grafton anyway....
Also there's a lot more people signed up for Atlon, I figured I might be able to blend in a bit, fade to the background.... This is rather far outside my cozy little box.

@lsquared Well, that decides that. I was considering the Alton one, and visiting my girls, or staying up where I live and joining the Springfield walk. I'm pretty tired of photographing Springfield, so I''ll look for you in Alton! I do want to meet you.

@melston Excellent!
@melpitts is signed up, too, we'll have good 365project representation!

@melston @lsquared This will be great! And lunch at the Old Bakery Brewery will be a photographic adventure in itself. It's a really great space...and food...and beer.

@melpitts @lsquared And I'll be stopping by Maeva's after (and likely before) since she's my baby grand business. More photo ops there in the Milton Schoolhouse if you'd like. I have an all access pass. :-)

Now, there's an idea. We could meet at Maeva's Coffee before and introduce ourselves? It's only a couple of miles from the Jail site.

@melpitts @melston Sounds good to me. I'll have to check my afternoon schedule w/ the family, closer to time, though.

@melston Ooooh! I'm so excited. I'll definitely need coffee! (I'll be coming from an overnight shift)

@melpitts @melston : Getting close, do we have a plan? Meet at Maeva's when? Looks like it's about a 10 minute drive on to the Start Point, walk starts at 9:30...

I'm a rookie to all this, and not all that familar w/ Alton.

Sure wish this site had a private IM feature.....

@lsquared I'll be at Maeva's at about 8:30 or 8:40 so I can get a little breakfast and say Hi to my kids (if either are working.) We should leave there about 9:10 at the latest so we aren't rushed finding the group. I'll probably have a blue cap on, I usually wear it when shooting out of doors to keep my hair back.

@lsquared @melpitts For your GPS: Maeva's is in the old school house at 1320 Milton Rd. There's a sign on the building, but not out by the road.

@lsquared @melston I'll see you at Maeva's!
October 2nd, 2015
@melpitts @melston I'll be the old guy with the camera. See you at Maeva's, shoot for 8:45-ish.
