Calling On Local Photographers To Partake In Worldwide Photo Walk



On Saturday, July 24th, 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™. Last year over 32,000 amateur and professional photographers in 900 cities all around the world participated in the Second Annual Scott Kelby’s Worldwide Photo Walk. Once again, chosen to lead the Photo Walk in Vero Beach is professional photographer J. Scott Kelly, owner of Island Images Professional Photography Studio, Inc., founder of Adventure Photography and Photo Walks of Vero Beach.

There is no fee to participate but pre-registration is required. Just go to the Worldwide Photo Walk Vero Beach, and join in on the fun. Anyone can participate too. 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.

Kelby credits the success and popularity of the event to the social aspect of photography the world over. “Photography is usually viewed as a solitary activity, but the truth of the matter is that people love to shoot together, compare notes and just have fun with photography,” said Kelby. “The Worldwide Photo Walk is a social phenomenon. I’ve had group leaders contact me to tell me that they’ve turned their walk into a monthly event. Other people tell me that they’ve made friends at the very first Photo Walk that they’ve kept to this day. It’s the joy of shooting with friends, new and old that makes this event so special.”

In addition to enjoying a day of photography with other like-minded individuals, participants may also be eligible to win prizes from the Worldwide Photo Walk’s sponsors if their photo is chosen as the best photo of the day by their walk leader. Each winning walk photo is then entered into a global competition where Scott Kelby picks the single “best photo” of the event along with 10 runners-up.
