About Photowalking Utah

Photowalking Utah is a photography group that has monthly events in and around Northern Utah. The events are open to photographers of all skill levels. With a deserved nod to Thomas Hawk's now famous San Francisco Photowalks, the first Salt Lake City Photowalk was held on a rainy Saturday on October 6th, 2007. With just a handful of the original founding members on this 'walk, the word spread and participation quickly grew.

After beginning life originally as Photowalking Salt Lake City, the name was changed to Photowalking Utah shortly after to meet the expanding geographic scope of outings being held by the group. With no desire to be overly official, the group has been humorously referred to as a "group of like-minded individuals who get together regularly for fun and learning".

After over one year of successful monthly (and impromptu) outings, Photowalking Utah has grown to nearly 300 members and has great prospects for continuing the fun into the future.
