Scott Kelby Hosts 7th Annual Worldwide Photo Walk

Oct. 10, 2014 - PRLog -- On Saturday, October 11, 2014, photographers will gather in cities across the globe to capture a slice of life through their eyes during the 7th Annual Worldwide Photo Walk.  It’s the world’s largest global social photography event in the history of photography itself.  Photographers of all walks of life and skill levels gather together, on the same day to socialize, learn new tips from each other, and explore their corner of the world through photography. Last year over 1300 walks took place in countries like the Philippines, Iran, India, Great Britain, and the United States.

In the Bronx, digital journalist and social entrepreneur Clarisel Gonzalez is once again leading a photo walk as part of the worldwide photo movement. This year’s Bronx walk will be in the Kingsbridge area from 1 to 3 pm. Participating photographers will meet outside the Kingsbridge Armory landmark. In previous years, Clarisel has led photo walks to City Island, the New York Botanical Garden and Orchard Beach, which have all been a success.

The Worldwide Photo Walk was founded by Scott Kelby, president of Kelby One and a #1 bestselling photography and technology book author.  He leads a walk each year in a different city and credits the success and popularity of the event to the social aspect of photography.

The best part is it’s free.  You don’t have to be a professional or expert.  All you need is a camera and a passion for photography. It doesn’t even matter what kind of camera you use, a smartphone will work.  The idea is to just get involved and share a common passion.

The connections people make at the event, doesn’t end there.  You’ll find the photos and experiences shared all over social media sites like Twitter under the  #wwpw2014 hashtag, and Facebook.

Participants are also 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.
