Recapping the Lensbaby Photowalk

By Nicole S. Young

The first-ever (that I am aware of, at least) Lensbaby photowalk was a success! Over 60 photographers met up at Pictureline in downtown Salt Lake City, each with a Lensbaby to use for the photowalk (courtesy of both Lensbaby and Pictureline) and roamed around the block snapping photos. From what I could tell everyone was having a great time. I'm a big fan of the Lensbaby product and was really happy that others had a good chance to try one out for themselves.

A huge thanks go to both Jens and Nick at Pictureline for making all of the arrangements, and also to Lensbaby for supplying the demo lenses for all of the participants who needed to borrow one.

Skill level is unimportant. Doesn't matter if you shoot a digital SLR, point and shoot, film camera, camera phone or whatever. Come on out, hang with other photographers and have a good time. We'll be outside, so watch the weather and dress appropriately.
