Well gang, it’s official! Prescott has been slated as one of the cities on Scott Kelby’s Worldwide Photo Walk!
Hey, we’re on the map! Literally, I had to go to Google Maps to set up the map for the sign up sheet.
So, if you’d like to sign up and be official you need to go to the following link:
http://www.photoshopuser.com/photowalk/city/prescott.html
Once you’re on the page you’ll see a red sign up button in the upper right section of the page. The button says, “Photo walk sign up.” You’ll then have to type in your e-mail address, your name, and make sure you select Prescott from the pull down list at the top of the form. Don’t want you signing up for Miami accidentally (unless you want to go to Miami).
I’ve tentatively set the time for 8:30 a.m. I know, it’s early, but you know it gets warm here, and the downtown gets pretty busy on a Saturday. Oh, and to remind you, August 23rd! We’ll start at Sharlot Hall Museum, and we’ll finish out at The Raven Cafe.
I should probably talk to the folks at the Raven about a group of people with cameras showing up. Sure, they’ve hosted “Blog Fests” before, but I bet they want a little notice! 
This should be a lot of fun. Be sure to sign up soon, as space is limited to 50 sign ups in each city. I already know more than 10 people signing up, and we’ve had a few new folks already pop up on the site (yup, sign ups have started before I even posted this).
I think I’ll go walk the route today, just for ideas……

Hey Paul. Nice to meet you. Wow, I haven’t heard the term “flatlanders” since I lived in NH. Folks in the North Country always referred to everyone else as a flatlander. Never quite understood the dig, but they had fun with the reference.
Cameras aren’t HDR supported. HDR is a process that takes place by combining photos afterward. You can do it with most any camera you can think of, provided it’s digital.
I think the point of the photo walk is to meet other people who enjoy the same thing. Like the blog fests that take place regularly in this town, or folks going to rodeos, or people out enjoying what the town has to offer. Personally I think it should be fun. My apologies for the concept offending you so.

Wow, a photo walk! What exactly does this accomplish? Locals usually take pride in themselves by not associating with Flatlanders or their mannerisms, ie.. like walking aimlessly around a town swinging their hdr supported new digital camera.
I think if time permits, I will shoot this procession from afar to document this web 2.0 meetup.
Yea, better call Ty at the Raven. He may mistake this group for a band of unrully tourist.

I’m excited too! And I’m really glad Granny J will be back. After all, her site is “Walking Prescott,” and if anyone knows about walking Prescott it’s her. Plus I want to hear all about her Alaska trip!!!
This should be big fun!
