Worldwide Photo Walk 2009
This past Saturday I participated in the Scott Kelby 2nd Annual Worldwide Photo Walk. Before the walk they were estimating 30,000 participants around the world. As of tonight I haven’t heard the actual number and haven’t seen any images on the official website yet.
Originally I wasn’t going to be able to participate because I was scheduled to be in Fairbanks Alaska teaching a class and then spending a few days camping and photographing in Denali National Park. Unfortunately the trip was cancelled at the last minute. The only walk in Arizona that still had room was Downtown Phoenix starting at 5:00 pm on a day that was 115 degrees.
You assume that Arizona always has great light but in the middle of the summer it’s usually too much light not to mention heat. It wasn’t until around 7:00 pm that the light started to get interesting just as the walk was ending. So what do you do when the light is just blasting away? I head for the shade, put the white balance on cloudy and go small. I like shooting details anyway so I got a few nice photos and a couple I really like.
It’s not a trip to Alaska, photographically and temperature wise, but it was fun to participate and I’m anxious to start seeing all the images taken around the world.
