It’s pretty exciting to get an email from Brad Moore of Kelby Training that says ‘ Hi Mitch, I’ve approved you to be a (photowalk) leader, so you should get a confirmation email soon. Thanks! Brad Moore/Photo Walk Coordinator‘.

This is the fourth year that Scott Kelby has pooled the photographic resources of the planet to document big cities and small communities simultaneously. No small undertaking for his organization with coordination, memberships, website and choosing a winning image from millions that were all taken within a 48-hour window somewhere on this earth.

 

Last year’s winner was chosen from an Australian Photowalk with ten honorable mentions from Germany, Indonesia, Pakistan, Florida, California, Philippines, India, France, Philadelphia and Poland. View the images here at this link for inspiration.

I would love to see the Town of Tradition on that list next year with the prize package going to one of our talented photographers. I chose Tradition at sunset because the lighting is so sweet at that time of the day as it casts a glow around the small town architecture until the shadows crawl up the side of each building. The people that are walking their dogs and holding hands along the water creating a silhouette are all fair game for a signature image. As luck (and scheduling) would have it, there is also a classic car show at the same time that will lend an abundance of subject matter to the images at sunset.

I am expecting people of all skill levels to attend. This is a great event for a novice to learn and an experienced photographer to share their knowledge. You will end your weekend with a sense of community you haven’t experienced before and the keepsakes of everybody’s images posted in a special group online

Come sign up and join me on this unique adventure for two hours of shooting, networking and a cocktail or two afterwards.

Below is an image  from last year’s photo walk that I covered for Hometown News in Stuart.
