What is a photo walk?

As this is the first post for this here blog, I suppose that it is appropriate to explain what a photowalk is, for those of you who don't already know. As far as I know a photowalk is simply a gathering of like-minded lens-slingers taking pictures. There is no requirement for skill or equipment- it is just a chance to get better, get experience and meet new people. I'm intrigued by the fact that even though a group of people gathers in the exact same spot, they will not necessarily come up with the same images. Each photographer has their own "eye"- their own individual creativity that will result in unique pieces that would not have even occurred to anyone else.
My vision for Calgary Photo Walk is that it becomes a community of people who love to take pictures gathering together two or three times a year for some fun and some photography. I hope that soon this blog is home to many beautiful, creative, emotional, abstract, provocative images of our home town.
Please stay tuned to this blog for dates and images and welcome to Calgary Photo Walk...
