I'm getting super psyched!!! Here's a quick update one week out:
(1) We now have more than 1,000 photo walks organized in cities around the world
All the walks are now in place, as the deadline for creating new walks has passed, so now it's just about finding a walk near you (and can you help us spread the word to your photography friends?).
(2) We have awesome prizes for the optional photo contest portion!
Check out this link to see what all the prizes, but the grand prize winner picks up a Canon EOS 70D with EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM Lens, a Canon Pixma Pro 1 Printer, a 1-year Adobe Creative Cloud Membership, a Wacom Intuos Pro Tablet, and much more!
(3) It's not too late to join a photo walk in your city (it's free)
Here's the link to the official photo walk page â” see if there's one near you and join us on Saturday, October 11th for an experience you'll never forget.
(4) Check out our Worldwide Photo Walk Webcast
We did a free webcast a couple of walks ago with lots of helpful hints, suggestions, and we answered a bunch of questions people had about joining and walking, and you can watch it right here.
(5) Order your official t-shirt right now (and help the Springs of Hope Orphanage)
We have awesome official Worldwide Photo Walk t-shirts, and not only do they look really cool (lots of folks wear them on their photo walk), but more importantly, 100% of the profits from the sale of these t-shirts go to feeding, clothing and caring for the wonderful kids at the Spring of Hope Orphanage, Kenya. Our friend Rob Jones from Towner Jones Photography, came up with t-shirt idea and we’ve raised a ton of money for the orphanage over these years (yay!) and this year we’re trying to break our record by asking every walker to donate just $1 (one single dollar) for the orphanage, too! Remember, even if you don't want a shirt, you can still buy one to support the kids. Here's the link NOTE: We have special LEADER shirts as well (Leaders â” you'll find the link on your leader's dashboard).
OK, so that's a quick update. I'm leading a local walk this year in London, England, and my walk so rocks because we end by winding up at Byron Burger (Mmmmmmm. Byron Burger).
Cheers everybody to a great weekend everybody! :)

P.S. Today I’m off to shoot the Vols/Gators game Saturday and the Giants/Falcons game in New York on Sunday! Gonna be an awesome weekend (almost as awesome as next weekend!) :)
I’m hoping for great weather next weekend! I haven’t had the chance to walk in one of these for a couple of years.
I’ll have to check my TV listings to see if the Giants/Atlanta game will be broadcast in Boston. We usually get all of the Giants games. I’ll be looking for you on the sidelines, if so!
Have a super weekend, Scott!
Hi Scott, there seems to be a problem with the photowalk website. Any link past the main page give a “Page not found” error.
I will be participating in the Gatineau, QC, Canada photowalk. Can’t wait. The weather is looking good for that afternoon.
I am having the same issue with the Photo Walk Page, though I was able to get logged in and view my walk updates and the walk info itself via the dashboard. I need to change my times and email all of my walkers of the change as we are expecting Thunderstorms in our area on the 11th.
