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.

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,

Sandro V Cuccia
