Dear Delaware Photo Walk Participants:

Hello! And, thank you for registering for the July 24th Delaware Photo Walk in Historic New Castle!

Here are some details:

This year's Delaware Photo Walk will take place in Historic New Castle.

STARTING TIME: 9:!5 AM (arrive by 9 AM)
LOCATION: On "The Green" at the corner of Delaware and 3rd Streets. This is in the center of Historic New Castle.
ENDING TIME: Approximately 11:30 AM.
CHIMP-n-CHEW MEET-UP: I am investigating a couple of eateries/pubs ... details to come!

NOTE: If you can not make the Photo Walk, "unregister" yourself using the Scott Kelby Worldwide Photo Walk site so I can free up the slot for others on the waiting list. You must do this yourself; I am not authorized to do so.

Be sure to arrive by 9:00 AM so you can get yourself and your photo gear ready-to-go. We will first meet briefly for some introductions and remarks. Once all the preliminaries are out of the way, by 9:15 we break up into groups and fan out for the actual photo walk. At 11:15 AM the walk culminates at our "Chimp-and-Chew" meet-up location for lunch (your expense) if you wish, where we can discuss our walk, do some chimping and geek out on photography!

I scouted the area with my wife last weekend. There are ample and very interesting photo opportunities in this quaint Colonial setting. For more information on Historic New Castle, visit www.NewCastleCrier.com .

Also, check out the official website for Scott Kelby's Worldwide Photo Walk. You will find more information about this initiative including a video which will introduce you to the concept of the "photo walk." You can also get more information on the sponsors, as well as a photo gallery of a selection of images from the thousands of participants at last year's Worldwide Photo Walk. The site is www.worldwidephotowalk.com . While you're at it, it would benefit you to read the Photo Walk FAQ page at www.worldwidephotowalk.com/faq

Additionally, check out the Official 2010 Photo Walk Apparel at www.cafepress.com/townerjones/ Your purchase of official Photo Walk garb will aid the Springs of Hope Orphanage in Kenya.

Want to know more about the prizes being offered? Check out www.worldwidephotowalk.com/prizes/
And, don't forget our walk-specific web site at www.DEPhotoWalk.com for more information and updates.

I was asked one question about a rain date. There is no rain date! 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!!

I will be sending you more information and a reminder a couple of weeks prior to the July 24th walk. Meanwhile if you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to email me.

Finally, while there are some prizes associated with this event, the REAL purpose of the photowalk is to build and be a part of the international photo community. It’s a chance for photographers of all skill levels to come together and share the experience with others.

See you in Historic New Castle on July 24th!

Regards,

We're back! It's time for the Third Annual Scott Kelby Worldwide Photo Walk!!

This summer, our Photo Walk will be held on Saturday, July 24, 2010 .... starting at 9 AM ... and the location will be in Old New Castle. As is customary, post-photo walk chimping and camaraderie .... affectionately known as our "Chimp-and-Chew" will be held at a local eatery right after the Photo Walk - around 11:30 AM.

Details are still being worked out and all participants will be kept informed.

Here are a couple of important websites for you to visit for immediate information and registration:

The Scott Kelby Worldwide Photo Walk Website - www.WorldWidePhotoWalk.com
You will go there to see lots of information about the Photo Walk experience and give you a chance to register for our New Castle photo walk. You will see a search bar there ... just type in New Castle Delaware to get to our sign-up page and, of course, my pretty face. Alternatively, go directly to our New Castle Photo Walk page on Kelby's site.

The Delaware Photo Walk Website - YOU ARE HERE NOW! (www.DEPhotoWalk.com) This site is the one I created for our own photo walk, where I post lots of updates and information about our shoot in New Castle this July. While you are here, you can check the 2009 archives - over there on the top right side - to see photos and other information from last year's shoot at the Wilmington Water Fron.

I will be posting more information soon. Meanwhile, let me know if you have any questions. My email is sandro@dephotowalk.com
