BlogWorld 2010 Photowalk: Friday October 15th 6pm

by Aaron Hockley on August 24, 2010

I know I’m not the only photographer coming to BlogWorld (at least I hope I’m not, or my session on Friday morning with Kris Krug might be a bit empty). And when I say photographer I mean anyone interested in photography, whether you’re a professional or hobbyist.

Fountain FireLet’s have a photowalk! A photowalk is simply an informal gathering of photographers, starting from a designated point, to wander a bit and create some images. As a group we’ll take in some of the sights and sounds of the Las Vegas strip and (hopefully) capture some unique photographs.

We’ll gather at 6:00pm on Friday, October 15th, along Las Vegas Blvd. in front of the Luxor Pyramid. There is a tall column directly in front of the pyramid at the sidewalk (in front of the sphinx)… that’s our meeting point. The general plan is that we’ll walk north along the strip towards the Excalibur, New York New York, Monte Carlo, and the new City Center/Aria Complex.

This will be super informal, we’ll create some photos, talk about photography, and allow folks to move at their own pace. My co-presenter Kris Krug will be joining us and it sounds like we should have a good crowd. I figure that starting at 6 should allow us to create pictures for an hour or two and then move onto other activities for the evening.

Feel free to pass the word around; it would be great to see a lot of folks on the photowalk. I look forward to meeting you! If you’d like, leave a comment below with a link to your Flickr or other photos – it’s always cool to check out the work of others.

Add this event on Plancast.

    I’ll be there! I’m sad to say that I’m a local girl and I still haven’t been to City Center.

    Thinking about this but want to go to the parties. don’t have flickr open right now to view. I was posting the good, bad, and ugly just to put them up on off site -site – friend commented on some of the ugly and how it isn’t good to present things that are not our best, so I made everything private – I also did not want people taking photos – you can see some of my work here

    Is there a page online where we post our pics as a result of the this walk?

    • http://www.socialphototalk.com Aaron Hockley

      There isn’t… yet. I’m thinking I might create a Flickr group. Stay tuned… if so I’ll definitely talk about it at the walk.

  • Mark Mitchell

    I’m looking forward to the walk. I travel to Vegas frequently and have started to run out of inspiration. It will be great to walk with all of you and get a fresh perspective while learning a thing or two. My flickr is http://www.flickr.com/photos/mmitchell/

  • Kathy Short

    unfortunately, i can’t be in las vegas until oct 24…but will be looking forward to seeing some the results! thanks for a great newsletter!

  • Mcgrewski

    I will be in Las Vegas for the first time ever on Friday the 15th, for a wedding on Saturday! I really hope to make this. Have never been on a photowalk and I think it sounds great! My flickr is:http://www.flickr.com/photos/47632055@N04/

    I would love to attend!! I’m a resident Here {Vegas} but as most residents, rarely go to the strip. I just recently checked out our revitalized 18b Arts District and my eyes loved it. There’s lot’s of neat graffiti nooks with beautiful lines. It’s truly a different taste of Las Vegas and as a resident, I welcome it!

    Looking forward to meeting you all. It would appear there aren’t too many woman or newbie professional photographers, so I’m hoping I represent {but truly come to soak up the knowledge of all the fab photographers doing the walk}

    I’ll be there. I also run a photography blog with a friend of mine. He’s not able to make it to Vegas for Blog World but I’m excited to take some photos.

    Anyone bringing tripods for some HDR shots?

    • http://www.socialphototalk.com Aaron Hockley

      Not sure if I’ll be shooting HDR on the walk or not…that would be the one reason I’d suggest a tripod for a photowalk.

    Hey Aaron, I just found out about your Photowalk, and I had planned one myself which just happens to be directly after yours! Here are the details. Cali Lewis will be with me, as will a group of other folks. Would be funny if we all joined up together and terrorized the Vegas Strip with our cameras. ;-)

    Look forward to meeting you at BlogWorld.

    Cheers,

    John P.

      Sounds good John. Given the amount of activities and parties that happen at BlogWorld, having a couple photowalks should give folks the ability to attend one that fits best with their schedule. Hope you have a safe trip to Vegas.

  • Mark Mitchell

    Thanks for organizing the walk. I had a great time last night.

  • Crazynelsons

    Great time Friday night, Thanks
