Worldwide Photo Walk - 2009

Scott Kelby is a photographer, artist, teacher and trainer who developed an idea last year. Let's get people together in cities and towns around the world for a few hours on the same day with their cameras and see what happens. This year, Saturday, July 18th was the second annual Scott Kelby Worldwide Photo Walk and 36,800 of us participated! In Jacksonville, 50 of us were guided around downtown by Jim Brady. We were challenged to look at familiar (to many of us) sights in unfamiliar ways. What a blast. Below is a small sampling of the 100 or so images that came out of my camera in the two hours before it rained...

Above: Jacksonville's Main Street Bridge, spanning the Saint Johns River - looking south from the north bank near the Jacksonville Landing.

Above: The principle photographer for the Jacksonville Times-Union, our daily newspaper, shooting the shooters....

Above: Couldn't resist the colors in the Siouxie and the Banshees sticker -- haven't seen one of these in years!

Above: The Bank of America Tower -- the predominant building in the downtown Jacksonville skyline.

These and more of my photos from the day can be viewed on my website here. Until next time...

Beautiful pictures indeed. I especially love the first one as it reminds me of the 'Blue Bridge', or Wiwili Brucke in beautiful Freiburg Im Bresgau, Baden-Wurtemberg, Germany.
