A couple of weeks ago, I had the pleasure of participating in the first @604photowalk with @TiannaNK, @cicychan, @vincechow, @dangerphoto, @bdshaler, @irvlau, @GluttonwithaCam, and @mananetwork (big thanks to AJ and Tomasz for organizing). With my phone moonlighting as my only alarm clock (and no phone charger in sight), I wasn’t able to wake up in time to meet the others for breakfast. I also couldn’t get in touch with them as my laptop wasn’t with me. Needless to say, I was made acutely aware of my dependence on technology that morning.
A carrier pigeon would have served me well.
After a quick recharge at the Apple Store, however, I was able to connect with my fellow photowalkers who had planted themselves next to a pony. Impromptu tag, jumping photographs (my first ever), and great company made for quite a lovely, fun, and inspiring day.
You’ll notice the absence of a particular type of subject in my photographs: people. Although I particularly enjoy portraiture in all of its various manifestations in art, I have yet to include it in my practice in a major way. This will change this year; amongst a great many other things.
Some of the other photowalkers blogged about their experience:
AJ @GluttonwithaCam #604PhotoWalk: The first of many
Tomasz @mananetwork #filmportrait
Vince @vincechow #604Photowalk
Cicy @cicychan 13km with #604photowalk
Tianna @TiannaNK #604Photowalk
(I’ve split the photos into two postings as Tumblr won’t allow for more than ten photos per Photo post. Meh!)
