These guys are working outside on my house. They are tough. Today (35 deg) they turned off the propane heater because it was too loud, interrupting their music. And who knew DeWalt made radios? But I digress.

We Photowalkers are not so tough. The Temple Square shoot at 24 degrees was enough cold for a while. So we are moving indoors to work on our portrait skills. Rich has found us a venue, we have models, backdrops, at least 5 sets of lights, and many planning to attend.

The most exciting part for me is how many absolute beginners are planning to attend. I didn't help start Photowalking to meet self-annointed experts- there are plenty of other photo groups in SLC brimming with them; what we need is enthusiasm, creativity and some laughs, with enough experienced hands around to make sure no one gets hurt by a falling light stand.

We are also going to set up zones where we can test out gear owned by fellow members. There will be large Canon and Nikon contingents. Bryan has promised to bring his ring light, I've got some odd filters, even the Olympus folks will get a table.

Now that we are up to 62 people on the team, I'm bringing name tags. It will be nice to finally get to see people without all their winter outerwear, and to associate Flickr ids with real names and faces.

Please join us! Always room for one more.

This sounds like so much fun. Is there a place to sign up? Or do we just show?

HI! It was fun to meet you at the photowalk. I had a nice time and learned some new things about my camera. Thanks for inviting me and making me feel so welcome there. I look forward to coming to another photowalk soon. :)
