Photo walk

Today I was initiated into the secret world of photo walks.  OK it wasn’t secret at all in fact there was only a short initiation followed by a hazing that consisted of being mocked for my choice of cameras.   It was the Scott Kelby Fourth Annual World Wide Photo Walk otherwise know as the S.K.F.A.W.W.P.W.  It was nice to meet other photographers and strange to be in the presence of so many other photographers taking pictures.  If you’ve ever worked on a construction site, different trades continuously walk past each other without a work spoken.  I mean if you have to walk passed someone 40 times a day are you really going to say hello or even excuse me every time?  Well it was a little like that but a bit more polite without anyone stealing your extension cord.  Everyone tried to avoid walking into each others pictures and it was quite fun.  It’s certainly something I will do again and I look forward to seeing the other peoples images, I think there will be as much variety in the shots as there was in the people.

This is the sort of sacrifice it takes to get that one shot.
