Photowalking Utah Winter Clothing Drive

By Rich Legg

This year Photowalking Utah has added something to our annual Temple Square Christmas event - a winter clothing drive.

At the event on December 17th we will be collecting winter clothing items (hats, coats, gloves, boots, etc.) in good condition. These items will be donated to The Road Home to help them in their service to those less fortunate.

If you are attending, please take a look through your closet ahead of time and see if there is anything you can donate. If you are unable to make the evening outing but would still like to drop off items to donate, we will be accepting them in the fourth floor conference room of the City Library between 6:15 and 7:00 pm on the 17th.

All items collected will be given to The Road Home on Saturday December 19th.

I know I speak for others as well when I say how blessed I feel to be a part of Photowalking Utah. Let's now take our group to the next level and help to bless others in their time of need.

Save the Date: Holiday Light Clinic & Photowalk 12.17.09

By Rich Legg

It is time again for Photowalking Utah to make its annual trek to Temple Square in Salt Lake City to photograph the holiday lights on display. This year's event will again be in two parts. The first part will be a mini-clinic on taking low-light photos held at the Salt Lake City Library. When the one-hour clinic ends, the group will make their way to Temple Square to photograph the incredible holiday lights on display.

Here's the schedule:

December 17 - 6:30 to 9:00 pm

6:30 pm - Mini-clinic at the Salt Lake City Library (210 E 400 South) 4th floor conference room.

7:35 pm - Clinic concludes. Head downstairs to the TRAX station

7:50 pm - Ride the TRAX train (for free) to Temple Square

8:00 pm - Photography at Temple Square

This year we are adding a bit of giving to the December event. We will be collecting winter clothing to be donated to local organizations that help clothe those in need. Please bring any extra jackets, scarves, hats, etc. that are in good condition to the library. These will be collected and distributed to those less fortunate.

As always, there is absolutely no charge to participate in this event. Photographers of ANY skill level are invited to join in.

Head on over to the event discussion on the Photowalking Utah Flickr page if you have any questions or would simply like to say you're coming. I hope to see a great group on the 17th.
