Scott Kelby is again hosting his Worldwide Photowalk. It’s the 3^rd year for this event. This year’s Photo Walk will be held on Saturday, July 24, 2010 and it is free with some prizes for participants. The first year had a good following with 236 locations and 8,324 people. The second year was several times larger with over 900 Photo Walks and more than 32,000 people who participated around the world. I expect this year to be even bigger than before. Here you can see some of the results from last year with almost 12,000 images hosted on Flickr. Scott Kelby’s 2009 Photowalk. There’s some excellent and interesting work posted there, just ,ight take you a few hours to see them all!

If you haven’t heard of this event, it’s a great way to get out and meet photographers in your community. The idea is simple, someone in your community will set up as a leader and organize the walk. You just sign up and meet the other photographers at the appointed time and place. Then take photos in your community to share with the world. Photo walks are limited to 50 photographers in each group. If your community doesn’t have an organized walk or the current one is full, then you can start your own walk by signing up as a leader of a group.

There’s no cost to join as I mentioned but the walk does support a charity. There is an official T-shirt available for walkers to buy. 100% of the profits from the sale of any of these t-shirts will go to feeding the kids at the Springs of Hope, Kenya Orphanage.

It’s a great opportunity to meet new people in your area with cameras, learn from others and just an excuse to get out shooting. You can upload your images to share on the Flickr site or just keep them for yourself. Join up and get shooting!

Peter and Miserere both joined walks last year and will be doing so again this year.
