This year, I have another opportunity to lead a Photo Walk in Bangkok, Thailand. Looking back a year ago, it was good to have met several like minded people during the event. I say, it was a success, not because the group was filled up, but rather because new friendships, photo engagements and some job opportunities took place among participants afterwards. Hopefully, we would be able to make this year’s walk as meaningful and as fun as last year.
Scott Kelby Hosts Third Annual Worldwide Photo Walk
Event Hailed as the Largest Global Social Event for Photographers
On Saturday, July 24, 2010, the whole world will be walking again with Scott Kelby, president of the National Association of Photoshop Professionals (NAPP) and #1 bestselling computer and technology book author, in the Third Annual Worldwide Photo Walk™.
Scott Kelby’s Worldwide Photo Walk is the world’s largest global social photography event in the history of photography itself. It takes place on the same day around the world where photographers of all walks of life and skill levels gather together, usually in downtown areas to socialize, learn new tips from each other, and explore their corner of the world through photography.
“In 2008, we had 241 walks,” said Scott Kelby, founder of NAPP, editor-in-chief of Photoshop User magazine, and president of Kelby Media Group. “Last year, we had over 900 walks with over 32,000 photographers participating. We did the math… your average photographer will take upwards of 300 photos during a photo walk. That means that nearly 10 million pictures were taken in that one single day that may never had happened otherwise. I think that’s pretty cool and we all can’t wait to see what happens this year.”
There is no fee to participate but pre-registration is required. Anyone can participate. All you need is a camera. It doesn’t even matter what kind of camera either. People have showed up with disposables in the past, had a blast, and left with a new appreciation for photography.
If you are interested, you are Free to join here. Our group venue will be held at Wang Burapha Phirom, Bangkok Thailand (Pak Khlong Talat).
