Have You Checked Out the Prizes?!

With less than one month to go for our July 18th Wilmington Photo Walk, I thought I'd send you a couple of updates that you may have not seen.

First of all, this year's Worldwide Photo Walk is breaking all registration records, and so many photo gear manufacturers and other photo-related businesses are seeing this as a good marketing opportunity! Many new major sponsors are coming onboard and offering fabulous prizes to winners of the Photo Walk photo contest.

What does this mean to you? Well, for our own Wilmington Photo Walk, there will be an opportunity for you to compete against your fellow Photo Walkers. There will be a web page available where you can upload your best shot from the Walk. One (possibly more) winner will be chosen from our own Wilmington walk. That local winner will win prize and will then be submitted to the world-wide competition along with all the other local Photo Walk winning entries. The grand prize winner will get a boat-load of incredible prizes - including the fabulous Nikon D700 camera! There are now also a number of Honorable Mention prizes to be given out. For more information, check out the Prizes Page (worldwidephotowalk.com/prizes).

As we approach our Photo Walk date, you should frequently check the Scott Kelby Worldwide Photo Walk home page (www.worldwidephotowalk.com) often for updates and other valuable information, as well as our own www.DEphotowalk.com home page for our own local updates.

Finally, please don't forget to let me know if you can no longer attend the Photo Walk on July 11. I have several interested folks on a waiting list who are chomping at the bit to join the Walk.

One Month To Go!

Welcome all Wilmington Photo Walkers! Well, we have one month to go before we get together at the Wilmington Riverfront for our Photo Walk!

It only took two weeks to achieve our registration limit of 50 participants! This enthusiasm is reflected throughout the entire Scott Kelby's Worldwide Photo Walk initiative. To date there are 16,000 people registered for over 1,000 walks worldwide! I think this is almost double the involvement last summer.

Stay tuned for more updates here and at www.worldwidephotowalk.com

Wilmington Photo Walk - July 18, 2009

As part of the 2nd Annual Scott Kelby Worldwide Photo Walk, this year, our Photowalk will take place at the Wilmington Riverfront. Ours is just one of many other Photo Walks world-wide occurring on the same day. The walk itself will start at 9:15 AM but you should arrive by 9 AM to get yourself and your gear ready! We will first meet for some introductions in the parking lot in front of Joe’s Crab Shack. Once all the preliminaries are out of the way, we will break up into groups and fan out for the actual photo walk. At 11:15 AM the walk culminates at the Riverside Market where you can purchase lunch from one of several vendors there, and we meet in the dining area. There we can discuss our walk, do some chimping and geek out on photography!

This photo walk is rain-or-shine! Even in the rain, there are terrific photography opportunities no matter where you are. Don’t forget that the light is nice and soft on an overcast, dreary day!!

There are ample photo opportunities at the Wilmington Riverfront: Dravo Plaza which housed Wilmington’s shipbuilding efforts, the Tubman-Garrett Riverfront Park, the Russell Peterson Wildlife Refuge, the Public Docks, the Wilmington Amtrak Station, the Riverfront Market, the Daniel Frawley Stadium, and lots of interesting architecture. If we’re lucky, in port will be the replica ship - the Kalmar Nyckel - Delaware’s seagoing goodwill ambassador.

For more information on the Wilmington Riverfront, visit their website at www.riverfrontwilm.com ; be sure to download a PDF copy of the Riverfront map. And, don’t forget to view Scott Kelby’s short video introducing you to this new concept called Photo Walking. The video is locaed on the www.worldwidephotowalk.com home page.

See you at the Riverfront on July 18th! In the meantime, if you have any questions, please email me at this address: sandro@dephotowalk.com

What is a photo walk? It's a social photography event consisting of walking around with your camera and photographing your surroundings alongside other photographers You walk at predetermined locations, perhaps following an established route, and then sharing your imagery with your photo-buddies. Alone or with a group, the purpose is still the same: to go out and shoot with other like-minded photography enthusiasts and geek-out on all things photography!
