How to Join Photowalking Utah

Joining Photowalking Utah is very simple. In fact, it is so simple that it involves only one step: Show up!

This is a group run by volunteers that charges no fee to participate. Each event has an "Organizer" that plans and hosts the event. It is announced ahead of time on both this site (PhotowalkingUtah.com) and the Flickr Group (flickr.com/groups/photowalkslc). All that is required to attend is a willingness to hang out with fellow photographers and have a good time.

Attendees at a Photowalking Utah event range from brand new shooters with inexpensive point-and-shoot cameras to seasoned veterans with digital SLRs. It doesn't matter what type of camera they have or the amount of photographic experience they bring, everyone is welcome at an outing.

Many of the participants share their photos from a Photowalking Utah event on the Flickr group. Flickr is a free photo-sharing site. The group can be found at flickr.com/groups/photowalkslc.

For those photographers that want to be prepared and might have a few questions about what a photowalk is, founding member Harley Pebley has written an excellent post called "How to Prepare for a Photowalk". It can be found by clicking here.

For further information, feel free to contact group founders Ann Torrence at ann@anntorrence.com, Rich Legg at rich@leggnet.com or Bryan Jones at bryan.jones@m.cc.utah.edu
